7 Things: Trump slays it in Alabama; Moms for Liberty win; and more …

7. Former President Donald Trump had quite the weekend on social media, as users reposted his Truth Social posts on Twitter so people could see his attacks on special counsel Jack Smith, the judge overseeing the 2020 election case, his former Vice President Mike Pence, U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif), Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and more.

6. While the ban on Alabama Education Association money is accepted by Republican candidates for school board or superintendent seats across the state, legislators are still good to get that money after the ALGOP executive committee approved the ban.

5. A brawl on the Montgomery Riverfront has gone viral after a group of boaters would not move their boat and attacked an employee, others jumped into the fray, and the whole thing got out of hand. I would expect many more arrests in this matter.

4. The fight for the expansion of I-65 continues with Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth and others got the support of former President Donald Trump, who promised to “approve a six-lane I-65 from Huntsville to Mobile” on “day one.”

3. Moms for Liberty’s event in Madison with Kirk Cameron and Riley Gaines, which was canceled and then uncanceled after a legal threat, went off with absolutely no issues and hundreds in attendance but the media wanted to focus on the small number of protestors.

2. Former President Donald Trump came to Alabama to help ALGOP make a record-breaking amount of money and a ton of news.

1. During former President Donald Trump’s visit to Alabama, he picked up endorsements from every Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth, and more.
