Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin blasted U.S. Senator Luther Strange for his appointment to his temporary Senate seat by former Alabama Governor Robert Bentley. The appointment by Bentley, who later resigned over an ethics scandal, has been under scrutiny since Strange, then-state attorney general, oversaw the Bentley investigation.

Palin drew connections between Strange and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is backing the incumbent in next week’s Republican runoff and whose aligned super PAC has spent millions of dollars attacking Moore.
