Alabama GOP: Doug Jones' no vote on Kavanaugh 'betrays our state'

The Alabama Republican Party said Friday that U.S. Sen. Doug Jones', D-Ala., intention to vote against confirming Brett Kavanaugh "betrays our state."

Jones indicated Thursday night that he would not vote to confirm Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, citing what he believed was Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's credible testimony that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when he was a high school student. Alabama's junior senator also suggested that the Senate Judiciary Committee's decision not to subpoena Kavanaugh friend Mark Judge, whom Ford said witnessed the incident, and the committee's failure to receive all relevant documents on Kavanaugh impacted his decision.

Moore sucked. Trump wanted Strange and that guy would have been a reliable vote without all the baggage.

Strange was a dirty AG who took the Senate appointment in exchange for not investigating a crooked governor.

What baggage ? Other than that contrived by the Dark Side ?
His ideology is as close to that of the Founders as we’ll ever get. That’s why he was destroyed.

Perhaps people in AL should start sending the scumbag packing boxes so he can pack early.

This is what Alabama gets for not electing Roy Moore when they had the chance.

Jones is TOAST!

Maybe, maybe not.

Its quite some time before he’s up again and will have all the money and power behind him. Thats why it’s hard to oust a damn senator.

Not necessarily, it is hard to dislodge any incumbent. People like a name they can remember.

Yep. If he were up this year he’d be toast to vote no, but years from now? pfff

Isn’t this the reason Shelby and Co. supported Doug Jones? Sacraments must come first.

I suppose now you're going to tell me the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

Alabama’s GOP voters cared more about what church ladies thought more than common sense.

So yeah, thanks, idiots.

You could have had a yes vote.

But you decided to shoot yourself in the foot instead.
