In his strongest defense yet
of Roy Moore, the controversial Republican nominee for the United States Senate
from Alabama, US President Donald Trump has linked the victory of Moore to
successful implementation of the Republican agenda.
Tying Moore’s election from
the state, represented by US Attorney General Jeff Sessions earlier, with
numbers game in the US Congress, Trump highlighted that how the refusal of the
Democrats was obstructing the passage of the new US tax code that Republican
consider a sweeping reform. The Republic tax code has divided the US society
with many strongly disapproving it. Democrats are calling it a scam that would
benefit only wealthy Americans and corporations.

With the Senate passing the
new US tax code this Friday, both chambers of the US Congress, including the House,
have passed the legislation that intends to introduce sweeping structural
reforms to the taxation practices in the US. The legislation will also be the
first major legislative victory for the Republicans who have failed to repeal
and replace Obamacare, their long-term agenda and one of the main campaign
promises, despite their numerical dominance in the US Congress, indicating that
their own house is not in order.
Batting for Moore, former
chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and a controversial figure who was
removed twice from his position and who is also facing allegations of being involved
in sexual abuse on minor girls, Trump targeted the Democrat nominee Doug Jones,
a former attorney, without naming him. He called him a puppet of Nancy Pelosi
and Chuck Schumer, the minority leaders in the US Congress, whose election would
further hurt the Republican agenda of introducing measures on lowering taxes,
tougher laws on crime, stopping illegal immigration, strengthening military and
defending the US borders.

Trump has defended Moore to
garner more numbers in the US Congress to support his agenda that even many
Republican don’t follow. For the record, he says as Moore has denied all
allegations against him and nothing has been proved, so there is no case.
Moore, who is nicknamed ‘The
Ten Commandments Judge’ for installing a Ten Commandment granite monument in a
judicial building for which he was punished, is a hardliner like Trump who endorsed
his nomination saying “we don’t need liberals there (in the US Congress). Moore
says the US Congress should not have Muslim members and calls homosexuality
illegal despite the US Supreme Court making it legal a long back and says.
The Senate election from
Alabama is due on December 12 and was necessitated after resignation of
Sessions in February this year after he was appointed US Attorney General by Trump.
