Celebrities Crash Alabama Senate Race to Support Democrat Doug Jones
Big Hollywood (Breitbart) ^ | December 11, 2017 | Jerome Hudson

Hollywood stars are storming social media and urging their fans to turn out and vote for Democrat Doug Jones on Tuesday. many of them using the hashtag #RightSideOfHistory, launched a last-minute campaign to stop Judge Roy Moore’s bid for the U.S. Senate.

Will & Grace star Debra Messing posted a video offering her support for Jones’ Senate bid, as did comedian-actor Keegan-Michael Key and Nashville star Connie Britton.

The left-wing celebrity support for Jones in Alabama is reminiscent of the Hollywood-heavy campaign earlier this year for Democrat Jon Ossoff, who lost his bid against Republican Karen Handel in Georgia’s Sixth District special congressional election. Ossoff, a 30-year-old documentary filmmaker-turned-Democratic politician, lost his election bid despite the overwhelming support from celebrities who stumped for and contributed to his campaign.

You are correct. Carnies are hard-working folk making the best of what they have. My apologies to carnies and sideshow acts.

Jones is for abortion up to the birth of the child, there is nothing moderate about that.

Abortion is a distant 2nd to playing with girls. Ask the MSM.

FWIW The odds are improving for Jones over at http://www.paddypower.com/bet/politics/other-politics/us-politics?ev_oc_grp_ids=5991496
Roy Moore (REP) 4/11
Doug Jones (DEM) 11/5

They were 1/6 and 7/2 earlier, I believe.

She was one of the has-been celebrities begging the Republican Electors not to vote for Trump. Now she's begging Alabama voters not to vote for Moore. The latter should work as well as the former did.

The more the Hollywood celebs and Big Gov meddlers and other outsiders stick their nose in this race the more the citizens of Alabama will resent them and turn to Judge Moore.

If Alabama people are anything like me (and I think they are) then they hate Hollywood celebrities.

Tell them stars to remember

A southern man don't need them 'round anyhow.

If you check #alsen on Twitter you’ll see the “Big Media” types that have invaded Alabama and the local media types who are salivating over them.

We will soon find out if the people of Alabama can be manipulated like mindless sheep. Or if they are smarter than all of that.

The funny thing is that the college educated white urban and suburban types can be manipulated like that.

They are virtue signaling all over Facebook as we speak.

“Debra Messing”

She THINKS she’s the Second Coming of Lucille Ball!

Nope. Nope. Nope!

Her show has been nominated 30+ times for a Golden Globe.

Hasn’t. Won. Even. Once!

Shut up and fall down or do slapstick or whatever it is you do. No one cares for your ‘opinion’ on political matters.

Celebrities protected real sexual predators for decades.
They still haven’t figured out that most people are likely to do the opposite of what they tell them.

I’m going to tell you anyway, for the sake of others who may read this.

They are posting all over Facebook with vapid posts saying things like, “I urge you to be on the right side of history and vote against Roy Moore tomorrow.”
