President Donald Trump doubled down on his endorsement of Tommy Tuberville on Friday when he took to Twitter reminding Alabamians that he supports Tuberville over his former Attorney General, Jeff Sessions

He tweeted, “3 years ago, after Jeff Sessions recused himself, the Fraudulent Mueller Scam began. Alabama, do not trust Jeff Sessions. He let our Country down. That’s why I endorsed Coach Tommy Tuberville ( @TTuberville ), the true supporter of our #MAGA agenda!”

Sessions defended himself saying, “Your personal feelings don’t dictate who Alabama picks as their senator, the people of Alabama do.”

And thus the sparring began.

On Saturday, Trump shot back, “You should drop out of the race.”

To which Sessions reminded the president, “You and I fight for the same agenda.”

 

Sessions faces former Auburn University football coachTuberville in the July 14 Republican primary runoff. The winner will face Jones in the general election in November.
