Trump: Sessions ‘should drop out of the race’ — ‘You had no courage, & ruined many lives’

For the second consecutive evening, President Donald Trump on Saturday took to Twitter to speak out against former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

On Friday, Trump and Sessions traded barbs on the social media outlet, with the president also encouraging Alabamians to vote for former Auburn University head football coach Tommy Tuberville against Sessions in the state’s July 14 Republican primary runoff.

Trump on Saturday moved to get in the last word on the matter.

“Jeff, you had your chance & you blew it,” the president tweeted, quoting Sessions’ tweet from the previous day. “Recused yourself ON DAY ONE (you never told me of a problem), and ran for the hills. You had no courage, & ruined many lives. The dirty cops, & others, got caught by better & stronger people than you. Hopefully this slime will pay a big…price. You should drop out of the race & pray that super liberal @DougJones, a weak & pathetic puppet for Crazy Nancy Pelosi & Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, gets beaten badly. He voted for impeachment based on ‘ZERO’. Disgraced Alabama. Coach @TTuberville will be a GREAT Senator!”

Sessions also fired back to the president’s Saturday remarks in a tweet of his own.

The winner of the GOP primary runoff will face U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) in November.
