Meghan McCain after Jones win: 'Suck it, Bannon'
By Brandon Carter - 12/12/17 10:58 PM EST


Meghan McCain, the daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), blasted former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon on Tuesday night following the results of the Alabama Senate special election.

“Suck it, Bannon,” McCain tweeted just after the Alabama race was called for Democratic candidate Doug Jones.

Jones’s stunning victory over Republican opponent Roy Moore comes after a closely watched campaign to fill the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Jones’s victory tightens Republicans’ margin in the Senate, giving them just a 51-49 advantage over Democrats heading into the 2018 midterm elections.

McCain has previously blasted Bannon for attacking Mitt Romney for not serving in the military while previously working for Trump, who received five deferments from military service during the Vietnam War.

Meghan McCain made it clear on Tuesday that she will not follow party lines when it comes to supporting Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused of sexual assault or misconduct by five women.

@MeghanMcCain
Those of you who have the audacity to demand i defend Roy Moore for the sake of his senate seat - your soul may be for sale, but mine is not.

I was wondering if she tried to convince voters not to go for Moore
