BIRMINGHAM, Alabama As the White House is backing off ardent support for Luther Strange in next months U.S. Senate primary runoff, Strange has resorted to falsified direct attacks on his surging opponent, former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice Judge Roy Moore.
On Twitter Thursday afternoon, the flailing Strange tweeted out a snippet of Moores Thursday morning interview with nationally syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham falsely claiming that Moore attacked President Donald J. Trump. In his tweet, Strange called for Moore to apologize to Trump.
The only problem with Stranges latest phony attack? The interview, and Moores comments, were anything but an attack on President Trump. He was, throughout the interview as Breitbart News has reported, offering glowing praise for the president, pledging to Make America Great Again, and offering his support for the great ideas that Trump has. Moore, throughout his Ingraham interview, detailed how he is actually supportive of the Trump agenda, whereas Strange does not support lowering the Senate threshold for legislation to a simple majority from 60 votes.
Since Strange stands in the way of the Trump agenda by supporting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnells efforts to keep the vote threshold at 60 votes instead of 51, he cannot by definition support the Trump agenda, because Strange supports allowing eight Democrats to band together to block everything Trump supports.
In response, Moore fired back at the man who has become known in recent weeks here in Alabama as Big Lying Luther. In his own tweet, Moore said he supports the Trump agenda wholeheartedly.

I think judge Moore was rightfully removed from office by the State of Alabama. Twice.
He was derelict in his duty to enforce legal judicial rulings, regardless of what we think of them.
There’s a great deal of public debate on whether the 10 Commandments Display should be funded and enabled by any level of government, but there is NO legal debate. It is, in effect, settled law.
Additionally, he ordered lower court judges to disregard the USSC ruling on homo marriage. While I and many others here have a sympathetic view of that action, it was a clear violation of law and the Jurisprudence of the nation.
Judge Moore puts his interpretation of God’s law above his duty to effect man’s law as called out under the Constitution, the United States Code and 200 years of American Jurisprudence.
The American people should be able to count on a Judge to carry out the law of the land.
However, and elected politician has far more leeway in how they act.
