AL Senate President Del Marsh: Roy Moore Allegations Could Be Part of a ‘Washington Conspiracy’
Breitbart ^ | 11/18/2017 | Jeff Poor

Alabama Senate President Pro-Tem Del Marsh has a lot of concerns about the thumbprint Washington, DC has left on the race to fill Alabama’s U.S. Senate formerly held by Jeff Sessions.

In an interview with Breitbart News, Marsh, one of the Yellowhammer State’s highest-ranking Republicans, explained how he and other candidates were discouraged from running for the seat. He said that “Washington” was set on Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL), who was appointed to the open seat earlier this year by then-Gov. Robert Bentley (R-AL), being the GOP candidate and ultimately retaining that U.S. Senate seat.

“Washington had determined that Luther was their incumbent,” Marsh said. “I argued that the fact he was appointed by the governor — I did not think the people had voted. And I thought they would be wise to stay out of the race, let people run for the seat and see where it went.”

Marsh went to Washington, DC back in May to explore his options as a candidate. After that visit, he told the Montgomery Advertiser’s Brian Lyman that his conversation with the National Republican Senate Committee did not go well and they said they would “protect” their incumbents.

Marsh told Breitbart that he warned them against forcing Strange’s candidacy on Alabama voters and said things have gone as he had expected with their involvement in this contest.

“They were very honest,” Marsh explained. “They stated they would put whatever money they thought was necessary to make sure Luther won the race. I was very honest and told them I did not think the people of Alabama, regardless of the money they spent, would elect Luther Strange. They chose to go with what they believed instead of what I was trying to tell them.”

I was giving an example of how to push poll. It was hyperbole.

Yup, Gloria screwed up their plan. But I think they peaked to early.

Thank you for your reply. My hope is that Freepers in Alabama who might have missed seeing the video will see it and share it with other citizens of Alabama. Alabama Freepers need to share the video with folks they know who are turning away from Moore due to news reports from MSM. They need to know the truth, that Moore is innocent of the charges. Thanks again for sharing the link.

You’re welcome. I agree, everyone needs to see this and realize the conspiracy against Moore.
