The Senate Leadership Fund is making it pretty clear who they hold responsible for Doug Jones’ victory in Alabama:

But not everyone’s as impressed with the Senate Leadership Fund as the Senate Leadership Fund is:
I assume someone has already pointed out that Sessions ran unopposed in 2014.

To be fair, Sessions was the only name on the ballot in 14.

This! I'm all for the sentiment of the graphic, but it's misleading.

you do know Sessions ran unopposed in '14 – hence all the red, right?

Point well taken, but kinda bogus to use an election where Sessions ran unopposed as your baseline

Bannon's awful, but Sessions ran unopposed in '14 – hence all the red.

This is misleading and you know it. Sessions was unopposed in 2014. If you want to take a hit at Bannon do it, but this is #FakeNews

It’s easy to lay blame for Alabama at Bannon’s feet — Lord knows he’s quite the Kiss of Death — but blaming him alone also comes off a bit lazy.
oh you think it's just a Steve Bannon problem that's cute https://t.co/VVIiGln1yb

Now do what it would have looked like if you stayed out of primary and let Mo Brooks alone

Oh, go crawl under a rock, you cheap-shot artists. Yes, Bannon was at fault. But less so than you, w/your foul, mendacious ads suggesting Mo Brooks doesn't oppose ISIS, among other missteps of yours. You completely screwed up, and obnoxiously so. @AlexPappas
