Senator Doug Jones drew comparisons on Wednesday between the 1963 church bombing that killed four black girls in Birmingham to the pipe bomb threats that targeted several prominent Democrats this week.
“I can tell you that there was a bomb that exploded in Birmingham in 1963 that killed four girls because (former public safety commissioner) Bull Connor and (former Governor) George Wallace said things that empowered them,” said Jones, who as a federal attorney, prosecuted two of the four KKK members responsible for the bombing in the early 2000s.
“None of those folks meant to do something like that,” Jones said about Connor and Wallace. “But words mean something. We need to be talking about positive things, not hateful things.”
Jones comments were directed at President Donald Trump on the same day that the president condemned attempted attacks on high-profile Democrats and CNN. Authorities, on Tuesday and Wednesday, intercepted pipe bombs targeting Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, George Soros and others.
Count your paychecks. They are good for 2 more years.
Good heavens, the Democraps all spew such sludge streams of hateful comments toward Rs all the time.
THe hypocrisy is unbearable.
Why is nobody talking about all the Democrat rhetoric, Maxine Waters, et. al. and their inciting violence?
Why is the only focus on Trump and his alleged rhetoric?
YO Dougie! What about your ho, Maxine Waters’ words? Stop being a little pimp fag and act like a man.
Fake bombs
Fake news
Fake moderate RAT
Trump makes lunatics make fake bombs and send to themselves.
Trying to connect Trump to the bomber before the facts are established. What if the bomber is a leftist?
But the garbage coming out of Maxine Waters’ mouth doesn’t incite anybody to do anything.
Imagine that.
The people of Alabama should not have believed those women............
Doug Jones fooled them once. He will not fool them again.
So sick of RAT made up BS. If a person is too naive to see this is a pre election hoax, then I feel sorry for them.
IIRC Condoleeza Rice was friends with those girls.
if you want civility, give them back the government
Nice going Alabama.
The good republicans of the State of Alabama chose him,[ Doug Jones] over Roy Moore. They did it once, what makes you think they won’t do it again?
What Party was Wallace again?
Which Party created and used the KKK to terrorize and kill those with opposing views???
I wonder how many Alabamans are regretting their votes for Jones? ( personally, I believe that Jones won due to bussed in fake Alabamans. We had better get control over our elections and QUICK)
I think they know how bad the results are going to be and want to blame the loss on voters being afraid.
He is staying the obvious. Democrats can be easily fooled and stimulated to do violent things. He has failed to prove Republicans are that way.
Should we remind this dumbass that George Wallace was a Democrat and a real racist?
