Republicans blame Steve Bannon for Roy Moore's shocking loss in Alabama

Many Republicans slammed political strategist Steve Bannon for throwing his weight behind former judge Roy Moore, who lost to Senator-elect Doug Jones in a massive upset that delivered Alabama's first Democratic-controlled Senate seat in decades.

Jones, a Democrat, clinched the US Senate seat in Alabama in a special election to fill the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Bannon, the former top adviser to President Donald Trump, threw his full weight behind Moore in a contested GOP primary. He stayed loyal to him despite numerous allegations of sexual misconduct and assault over the last month.

Top allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Bannon, the head of far-right site Breitbart News who pledged to run opponents against candidates backed by McConnell if the they were deemed not sufficiently conservative.

"This is a brutal reminder that candidate quality matters regardless of where you are running," Steven Law, president of the McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund PAC, said in a statement. "Not only did Steve Bannon cost us a critical Senate seat in one of the most Republican states in the country, but he also dragged the President of the United States into this fiasco."

2. Yep. McConnell was putting out statements blaming Bannon as soon as the loss was apparent.

Almost like he was expecting it, for some odd reason.

3. Dragged Trump into this? Trump was probably perving with Moore, sharing stories and pointers.

4. I'm hoping reports start leaking out about how trump* took the news

Photos and a little audio would be ever so appreciated, too.

5. Someone needs to put a stick in Trump's Twitter cage to get him going this morning.

6. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't started up, already!

Maybe they sedated him. Or used a taser. Yea, I like the idea of a taser.

7. Oh, we all know he wants to, unless the lithium is stopping him right now.

8. It sure looked like Trump went

willingly.
