kyle whitmeyer is a columnist in alabama. he wrote this. jordan and meadows put me in the position of defending someone i disagree with 90% of the time. a rough word from someone on the other side of the aisle. it does seem as though jeff sessions is a man on an island. i ll surprised there aren t more defending him. certainly on policy as he man of great principle. i was struck with this marijuana decision. also the debate within conservative and republican ranks. there s a lot of annoyance at the justice department for this. even for the more libertarian minded, legal pot is something to embrace. that might be one person there s not as much defense of him. i challenge them. ....
So i think the lesson to be learned is as we go out and fight the 201 battles, we need to make sure we do it the way the democrats know how to run the playbook. we need to bring black people, young people, latinos into the process. we will win every time and defeat all of the bigotry running rampant within the republican party. kyle, something you said a minute ago struck me. it may be this moment with roy moore refusing to concede. maybe sort of an aha moment for republicans in alabama. we don t need to go down this road again. i m curious, roy moore is 70 years old. we ve seen him in the past decades. he s been thrown off the state supreme court twice. he keeps coming back. he was on the brink of a senate seat. do you think there s a political future or is this the last chapter? i think he s done. he s going to have his core base of devout followers, but beyond that his stealing has always been his floor and his floor has ....

And the former republican congressman from florida, dave jolly. kyle on the ground in alabama, let me start with you. there wasn t much there didn t seem to be anything of these claims of election fraud. election officials, republicans dismissed them out of hand. the election is over as far as they re concerned. i m curious about the politics in alabama. he was able to win an election. he s refusing to concede. his spokesman said they re making a big mistake here. are republican voters prepared to move on from this election or are they going to be like roy moore and say, hey, this thing was stolen? i think this has been a great demonstration of why roy moore was unfit for this office to begin with and i think that a lot of republican voters who might have been on the fence, maybe even some who voted for roy moore in this election are going to change their minds about him because of the way that he s played this thing out. look, it was it was a ....
