It certainly looks like the president* took the bait from the Republican “establishment” and backed the losing horse in a two horse race in Alabama on Tuesday…

Apparently, Alabama’s faithful turned out in droves yesterday, opting to send a Bible-thumping clown/candidate named Moore to Washington D.C. rather than the only-ever-so-slightly-more mainstream clown/candidate named Strange.

Some believe, (according to the New York Times article referenced above), scandal-weary voters viewed the former/twice-removed State Supreme Court Justice as the better choice to take on Doug Jones, a former federal prosecutor and the Democratic nominee, at the polls in December.

The kicker? The Twitter-in-Chief™ deleted his support for Strange… Typical.
