Former Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) announced on Thursday his endorsement of Judge Roy Moore in next weeks Alabama U.S. senate race, in another blow to the establishment-backed candidate Luther Stranges campaign.
In a press release, DeMint, who is a leading figure in the Tea Party movement, took aim at the Kings of the Washington Swamp opposing Moores candidacy.
The American people are tired of the lack of leadership on Capitol Hill. They want people who are willing to fight to save our country, DeMint said. Judge Moore has proven he has the courage and the commitment to stand up to the Washington establishment and help President Trump implement a positive agenda. Thats why the Kings of the Washington Swamp are working so hard to keep Judge Moore from becoming the next U.S. Senator from Alabama, and why conservatives are supporting him.
Despite receiving an endorsement from President Donald Trump, Luther Strange remains the overwhelming choice for the Republican establishment. In recent weeks, the Senate Leadership Fund, a PAC affiliated with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, has flooded the state with a series of false attack ads against Moores campaign.
However, Roy Moore has received backing from other politicians including Head of the House Freedom Caucus Mark Meadows, as well his initial primary candidate Rep. Mo Brooks, as well as endorsements from leading figures in the populist nationalist movement, including the likes of Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, and Ann Coulter.

Trump will punish him for going against Trump.
No Trump ....Trump supported Strange because he was already a senator...
He probably will be happy if Moore wins and the RINOS resign..
The man has been dealing with these fools for Forty years..
He is light years ahead..
It will take time for him to get what he wants..

Yup, exactly right
Moores Trump’s guy. He just can’t say so. It’s the Trump show.
To bad Jim DeMint didn’t stay in the senate.
A lot of these names pop up and I wonder why Trump doesn’t give them a role in his admin?
rDJT supports the DC Swamp.
Jim Demint & Mark Levin support Judge Moore
New day. Ads all over Alabama should be: “Trump is our servant, not our master. VOTE MOORE TO MAGA”
A lot of those folks probably don’t want to take the pay cut.
Watch for a lot of people to join the band wagon now that it is clear who will win.
I suspect Trump supported Strange in the runoff in order to exact revenge on Mo Brooks for his stubborn Never-Trumpism throughout the 2016 campaign. Mo’s recorded statements came back to haunt him, big time.
I love to see him primary old Linda.
I, lakecumberlandvet, FWIW, do hereby endorse Judge Roy Moore for senator of Alabama.
He could have supported Moore.
I have a Strange feeling that Moore will win without Trump’s overt endorsement. It is normal for a sitting president to stay out of a primary race — a fact that highlights Trump’s earlier revenge upon Mo Brooks.
I met Judge Roy Moore last year when I held a prayer rally at the capitol in Alabama. I admire the fact that hes got guts. Over the years he has been suspended for standing for his faith. Hes one of the few willing to stand firm for truth and against the erosion of biblical principles. He sets a good example for all of us. God bless himhe and his family have my prayers. ~ Franklin Graham
See!! Demint is a true conservative!! This is a good sign that Luther strange is a swamp rat and judge Moore will make a great Senator. I hope this forces several resignations of other swamp rats. I remain hopeful that president trump starts getting good advise about candidates.
