Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) congratulated Judge Roy Moore on his blowout victory in the Alabama Senate GOP primary over Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL) — the candidate he backed.

“I would like to congratulate Roy Moore on his victory in Alabama tonight,” McConnell said in a statement.

McConnell added that Moore “ran a spirited campaign centered around dissatisfaction with the progress made in Washington” — not acknowledging his own role as senate majority leader or support for Strange.

“I share that frustration,” McConnell said, pledging to support Trump’s agenda, noting it was what “the American people voted for last November.”

“We look forward to Judge Moore’s help enacting that agenda when he arrives,” he said:McConnell pledged to back Moore in the general election scheduled for December 12 against Democrat Doug Jones and urged those active in the primary election to “redouble” their efforts in the general election.

Moore ran on an anti-establishment platform that rebuked McConnell and establishment Republicans in Washington.

So, who will be the first Republican Senator to say, “DOA” on tax reform? Any bets?

Does Ditch support Corker?

Thune? McCain? Murky? Collins? Cruz? Paul? Lee? Cotton? Schumer?

That’s great Judge Moore, just keep an eye on the knife in his hand and try not to turn your back on him.

#fakenews. This article does exactly what the MSM. It ignores that Trump was backing Strange, too.

“I share caused that frustration,” McConnell said, pledging to continue to lie about his support Trump’s agenda

Fixed it.

Trust the Turtle do we?

Not me.

[dainbramaged]

I’ll believe it when I see it, Mitch. Get on board or get run over.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Paul was a saint, Mitch ain’t.

[nickcarraway]

This article is worthy of the NYT.

[nickedknack]

...and then Sen. Yertle (RINO-KY) pulled his head back into his shell.

[samtheman]

It’s McCain talk. Promise them anything then vote liberal.

[daler]

I think anyone with any political savvy knows what the Senate majority leader can do to assure an agenda gets passed.

And he's not doing it.

You don't see anyone breaking ranks with Chuck U, do you?

[right way right]

Bag O Crap 🐢.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Why should anyone believe him? He has no credibility.

[BarbM]

Paul was a saint, Mitch ain’t.

This is Turtle code for “I’m going to do everything I can to help the Dems crush Moore in the general.”

[RitaOK]

Yes, he is a *lair*. A money pit no patriot wants to fall into. Also, a liar.

McConnell: "Moore ran a spirited campaign centered around dissatisfaction with the progress made in Washington.I share that frustration."

Only in Congress would you hear something that stupid. It's just like Obama running against Obama for eight long years. "Well, shucks. I didn't have anything to do with that. It was the government that did it."

[COBOL2Java]

Before anyone flames ol’ Mitch, remember what Saint Paul was on his way to Damascus to do when Jesus got his attention.

...and remember what Judas was on his way to the Garden of Gethsemane.

That's how I think of Ol' Mitch.

"You don't see anyone breaking ranks with Chuck U, do you? "

Only Trump got that done once. The message didn't take though.
