The 2020 Senate Campaign: Alabama

My favorite lickspittle, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, former AG of the United States and Senator for Alabama, knows he’s in trouble in his race to recover his seat, and in response has published a letter pledging his undying support for President Trump – the guy who just kicked him in the face, ya know – and then went on to diss his primary opponent, Tommy Tuberville:

My principles, like my faith, are immovable and non-negotiable. I believe it is always right to do the right thing. My opponent, Tommy Tuberville, calls that weakness, which reveals his true lack of integrity. [AL.com]

And more:

Mr. Tuberville is an opportunist who isn’t from here. He stopped here for work for a while, and moved on, eventually retiring in Florida. He doesn’t know the first thing about Alabama. He says the President is wrong on China, says we must import foreign workers to take American jobs, and up until a few months ago, he said he favors amnesty for illegal immigrants. If you don’t like his position on an issue, just wait a few weeks and he will change it. His house is built on sand.

Alabamians have long resisted pressure from people in Washington telling them how to vote. In fact, Alabama’s motto is – “We Dare Defend Our Rights.”

That’s true. They elected Senator Doug Jones (D) last time, Mr. Sessions.

When I return to the Senate, I look forward to helping the President build the wall, protect American workers, and fundamentally reset our relationship with Communist China.

I can agree that the China relationship will need some serious revisions, although unfortunately our farmers are probably addicted to the Chinese yuan. However, the real question here is whether Sessions and Tuberville fans are now sufficiently alienated that each won’t support the opposing candidate, should their own candidate lose the primary.

This letter is certainly a step down that path.
