President Donald Trump endorsed former Auburn Football coach Tommy Tuberville over his former attorney general, Jeff Sessions, in a tight Alabama Senate primary runoff this month.

The president cited Tuberville’s football prowess in his backing Tuesday over Sessions, who served in the Senate for 20 years between 1997 and 2017 before Trump’s administration.

“Tommy was a terrific head football coach at Auburn University. He is a REAL LEADER who will never let MAGA/KAG, or our Country, down! Tommy will protect your Second Amendment,” Trump tweeted.

“He will be a great Senator for the people of Alabama. Coach Tommy Tuberville, a winner, has my Complete and Total Endorsement. I love Alabama.

The endorsement is expected to be a blow to Sessions as the two candidates have each raced to pitch themselves as most aligned with the president.

Well....paybacks are hell and cowardice/submissiveness to the Deep State does not pay. Sessions is FINISHED!

Awful. I get that Trump is still pissed as Sessions as A.G. But Tuberville is a puppet of the open borders lobby and had said some really nasty things about Trump.

Yes Sessions was naive and unprepared to stop the Deep State coup, but who would have? They used all the levers at their disposal to box him in, and he wasn't alone. Trump didn't make it easier for him by failing to fire every single Obama holdover from day one, starting with Yates.

Sessions was a promising tough conservative who turned out to be a drooling drawling nincompoop

Did I miss something?

It seems like Trump was backing Sessions until his loss was baked in?

Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions, your backstabbing and blind-eyed do-nothing approach to the rampant crime about you, while in high office, has disqualified you from any further office of power and trust.

You can retain what little dignity you have left about you by retiring gracefully and silently.

You’ve dishonored yourself mightily.

This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn’t have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt. Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins! https://t.co/2jGnRgOS6h— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2020

Trump's former attorney general Jeff Sessions finished well short of a majority in his Alabama Senate primary.

He now faces a runoff against former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville https://t.co/TVTtb0FU8w— POLITICO (@politico) March 4, 2020

LOL. The establishment endorsed Sessions. Tommy will be on a short leash. Regardless, he won’t be any worse than Shelby. Will Shelby be campaigning again for Doug Jones?

Yeah, Trump was defacto endorsing Tuberville. Tweeting nice things about Tommy and reviewing Sessions’ record as AG. Now he just made it official.

The President said he did not know or was aware Jeff would recuse himself from the Russia Hoax.

That is enough.

We may be getting a Cheap Labor Express stooge in Tuberville.
Another freeper says he is surrounding himself with Chamber of Cheap Labor types.

Well, I hope this shuts up those who claim Jeff and Trump have always been working together.

Like, maybe “Q?”

Q said to “Trust Sessions.”

Sessions is a soured turnip root and all you can do with something like that is to trash it once and for all.
