Sessions swings back at Trump for ‘juvenile insults’

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Saturday lashed out at President Trump for his “juvenile insults” ahead of the Republican Senate runoff primary.

Sessions (inset), a one-time ally who Trump now derides as “Mr. Magoo,” touted himself as a trusted and independent conservative.

“My honor and integrity are far more important than these juvenile insults,” Sessions wrote in a reply to Trump on Twitter. “Alabama does not take orders from Washington.”

Trump, who blamed Sessions for failing to protect him in the Russia collusion scandal, has endorsed former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville for the Senate seat once held by Sessions.

“Sessions is a disaster who has let us all down,” Trump wrote earlier Saturday.

Tuberville is leading most polls ahead of Tuesday’s election, but political insiders have warned against counting out Sessions, who is quite popular in Alabama.

The winner will be the favorite to retake the seat from Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, who scored a huge upset to beat Judge Roy Moore in a 2017 special election held amid allegations of pervy behavior by Moore.
