Luther Strange Lobbied for Trade Deal That Drained Thousands of Alabama Jobs

In a strange twist of fate, one of the key figures who helped bring about this transfer of jobs out of Alabama is now campaigning for the Senate seat formerly occupied by Jeff Sessions. Even stranger still, his campaign ads promise that he will “Kill Unfair Trade Deals.”

Lobbying for the Central American free trade pact was a very lucrative job for Luther Strange. But for thousands of Alabamians it was far more devastating than that 1902 fire that nearly destroyed Alex City.

A senior adviser to the campaign of Judge Roy Moore, the conservative frontrunner for the U.S. Senate in Alabama against Strange in Tuesday’s upcoming GOP primary runoff, told Breitbart News that Strange’s efforts to lobby to send Alabama jobs to Central America and elsewhere is “staggering.”

“Luther Strange’s record of self-dealing is staggering,” Drew Messer, a senior adviser to the Moore campaign, told Breitbart News. “In his former life as a Washington lobbyist, he was paid big bucks to work for implementing CAFTA, the trade debacle that sent thousands dof Alabama jobs to Mexico and Honduras and thousands of small businesses into bankruptcy. Strange’s entire career has been marked by putting his own interest over the people of Alabama.”

Today's reports of the President's committed support of this globalist sponsor of CAFTA are very STRANGE...

Candidate Trump resonated soundly with the American People, that luster is fading with Luther, very Strange.

Let us hope that the good people of Alabama recall the moves the Turtle used to get Thad (senile?) his current term.

“Strange’s entire career has been marked by putting his own interest over the people of Alabama.””……NAFTA, CAFTA, TPP........

Only economic traitors would betray the working people of their own country with support of such sellout legislation......What is wrong with Trump that he would start out so well by not ratifying the Paris Climate accord and now going with the Rockefeller Republicrats?

He could have not endorsed McConnell’s establishment puppet.....4D chess? Hardly.

Strange is one corrupt, lying POS?

[wiseprince]

explain to me why we want to crush someone who has been voting with Trump? Is this Moore character another Rand Paul perfectionist who wants things his way or nothing? I’d personally prefer someone who will work with Trump and not against him. Admittedly I don’t know much about either of these candidates but it doesn’t seem like Strange has been a thorn in Trump’s side at all. I guess we just don’t like him because Mitch is for him (On Second thought I guess that’s valid but I still see why Trump is with him. You don’t reward people who have worked with you by trying to crush them)

[House Atreides]

Let the Alabama voters be the ones who “crush” Strange.

[kosciusko51]

Strange is the current senator only because he didn’t try to prosecute the disgraced former governor of Alabama. That alone is enough for me not to vote for him.

[plain talk]

I am listening to the debate between Luther Strange and Roy Moore. Just turned it on. Roy Moore is doing good. He is not quite a polished a speaker as Luther Strange. But he is taking it to Luther. Saying Luther spent 23 years as a lobbist and bringing up CAFTA and all the dirty ads Luther aired against him. Moore speaks from the heart and is killing him IMO.

Don’t know what prompted Trump to publicly back him. I’m still putting my money into Moore’s campaign.
