A lot of lefties are pretty psyched right now at this clip of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell roasting Steve Bannon on the Alabama Senate race.
McConnell was asked if he blamed Bannon for Doug Jones winning in deep-red Alabama. McConnell responded with, “Well let me just say this: The political genius on display throwing away a seat in the reddest state in America is hard to ignore.”
Sick burn:
Q: Do you blame Steve Bannon for Doug Jones being elected in Alabama?

But…
McConnell’s statement applies equally to himself as it does to Bannon and his support of Luther Strange over conservative Mo Brooks:
Fair, but you coulda had Mo Brooks, Mitch. https://t.co/eImAU1PJUS

We could’ve also avoided Moore with this strategy, but McConnell punted on that as well:
