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.

My prediction is Mitch is a short-timer in his leadership roll. I think the Roy Moore win sets the tone for the future and ol’ Mitch knows he is toast.
I’d call it lip service, but Mitch lacks even that.
Were his lips moving while he said this?
Know doubt here....
Reminds me of Rove’s comments last evening when he quickly inserted into the conversation he was a volunteer for strange’s campaign. Ha. I expect to soon get calls from the GOP senate campaign now looking for money now that they have wasted millions trying to pick a candidate. GFY.
You can start by booting Murkowski and McCain from their committees, Mitch.
The Turtle is a pathological liar and malignant narcissist who’ll say anything he thinks ‘the public’ wants to hear.
Only fools and idiots believe a word that comes out of that degenerate’s mouth.
That's how much McConnell pissed away from his PAC trying to defeat Moore.
Money that could have been spent defeating Democrats.
“I share that frustration,” McConnell said
...
He’s frustrated that his days of crooked politics are coming to an end. He’s lying, though. He won’t cooperate with Trump or MAGA. He’s got to be ousted.
Susan Collins and McLame - a tie.
The reason the GOPe is fighting Trump is because they are owned by donors and lobbyists with a different agenda, while President Trump is doing what he thinks is best. So far the lobbyists have looked to out-wait Trump, but if they lose some of their pawns in Congress, they may decide to work with him. Then and only then will McConnel change.
Must have caused outbursts of laughter and twittering among McCain, Pelosi, Ryan, and the knowing better class.
I guess I’m a cynic, but we must now be approaching election season. This is the time when all RINOs start to pledge they will repeal Obamacare with their dying breath and that they are hardcore conservatives. And then we have the election and they slide back into the swamp and do whatever they please.
Too little too late, Mitch. Kick the bastard out of Congress ASAP!
Yea sure..
Repeal & Replace McConnell, 1st order of business then fire Jared.
Just like we needed with Br0nc0, we need an internet app based @$$ kicking machine in McConnell’s office where he has to mount it for a couple of hours per weekday - congress in session or not.
Wow. Seriously? Rove ran the Strange campaign? LOL!!
