From the Washington Post:
Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Republican backed by the Tea Party movement, suggested that the president was misled by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, whom the crowd repeatedly booed. Jan Morgan, a spokeswoman for the Citizens for Trump grass-roots group, said “the president was ill-advised when he made his decision.” And former Alaska governor Sarah Palin accused the swamp — which is what Trump likes to call the Washington establishment — of trying to overpower the president.
“The forgotten man and woman in this country, they stood up, and we beat the swamp. But, alas, 10 months later, guys, the swamp, it’s trying to hijack this presidency,” said Palin, who unsuccessfully ran for vice president in 2008 and was one of the leaders of the Tea Party movement that predated the Trump movement. “The swamp is trying to steal the victory that we worked so long and hard for — to steal the victory that a lot of us put our reputations on the line for. We voted to put America first, not the political elite that had ignored us for decades.”
…
Palin described Moore as being “deplorable before deplorable was cool,” borrowing the label that Democrat Hillary Clinton applied to some Trump supporters last year.
“A vote for Judge Moore isn’t a vote against the president,” Palin said. “It is a vote for the people’s agenda that elected the president. It’s for the big, beautiful movement that we’re all a part of. The president needs support to keep the promises that elected him. So we’re sending Trump someone who has our back, not Mitch McConnell’s … Make no mistake, ‘Big Luther’ is Mitch McConnell’s guy.”
Did you see how she got a conservative Republican governor out of office, and got a Democrat governor into office in Alaska? I liked her too, but she’s swerved way left.
Keep talking - you're very entertaining.
All the more reason we need a con-con to amend the Constitution to set term limits.
I disagree. The party will be reborn on Tuesday.
Ask other Freepers, especially from Alaska.
I’ll be praying you are correct!........and Moore wins!!
It will be crucial to get the pro’Moore voters out.
..... all going to be campaigning, but for different Republicans. It proves the Republican Party is taking its final breaths. The Party will die in Alabama on Tuesday.
Maxine? Is that you?
Actually Walker ran as an indy. Wikipedia says that he ran as a Republican in 2010. From what I can tell, he has pretty much become a Democrat, but that’s nothing, so have a lot of R’s -like McCain. Palin was unhappy with Parnell changing courses, I think. I doubt that she is now happy with this guy either.
