RNC reverses, will support Moore in Alabama

Source: The Hill

The Republican National Committee is reinstating its support of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore after initially cutting ties over allegations of sexual misconduct, a source close to the RNC told The Hill on Monday.

Breitbart News first reported that the RNC had decided to step back into the race just hours after President Trump fully endorsed the candidate.

“We stand with the president,” a RNC official told Breitbart.

"The Breitbart story is real,” a source close to the RNC told The Hill.

Sexual Assaulter Trump endorsed a Pedophiler.
McConnell will welcome a Pedophiler.
The RNC will support a Pedophiler.
Alabama will elect their first Pedophiler to the Senate.

Ladies and Gentlemen, morality have left the U.S.

The Mercer's are the power behind Bannon. Bannon and Kellyanne Conway are both minions of the Mercer's.

We're caught in a battle of the dueling RW billionaires for control of the US government.

then the GOP was good to go to support him.

Had enough people in Alabama been outraged, they would have come out against him in the strongest terms possible. (more or less waiting to see what the polls say)

But since their base is A-OK with a sexual predator of children, they can support him as well without concern of backlash.

Anything else is just window dressing. The base gets to have their racism/sexism validated. The donors get their tax cuts. This is the basic quid pro quo.

I don't remember the exact term he used, but Karl Rove used to refer to the religious right is the "loonies" or "crazies," or some other such epithet.
