Dem Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) : I'm Embarrassed By My Party's Selfish Partisanship
Townhall ^ | 03/26/2020 | Beth Baumann

Democrats are taking a beating because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) derailed a bipartisan Wuhan coronavirus relief plan. Members of both parties worked through the weekend to come to an agreement and, at the last minute, Pelosi decided it would be better for the House to introduce their own coronavirus relief plan. Her reasoning? There weren't enough progressive items in the bill and Democrats saw this as the perfect opportunity to fundamentally transform America into what they think it should be.

Senators who were part of the negotiations and agreed to the bill before Pelosi blew it up decided to follow Pelosi's lead. But not every Democrat is happy with the party's hyper-partisanship, especially as Americans across the country are suffering.

Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) was the only Dem ocrat to vote in favor of cloture on Monday, which would fast-track the proposed Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. Even though he voted alongside Republicans, Democrats were able to get their way, yet again. The motion failed with a vote of 49-46.

Jones told CNN's Manu Raji he's "embarrassed" by the political games that are taking place.

It didn’t seem to bother him when he voted for impeachment.

You embarrassed Alabamans for your impeachment vote, Doug, and you will be removed from office for it this November.

You, sir, are associating with the most vile and decrepit almost-humans on the earth.

And as such, you should be treated like the treasonous vermin that you are.

Don’t just apologize, climb out of the toilet, get a shower, get sanitized, and then get thee to a reeducation camp where you can learn history, logic, and productivity.

Oh, God will forgive your sins. But don’t be too sure about those of us who have actually produced things in this world.

This is why Mitt Romney, Rick Scott and Mike Lee are “self quarantining#148;. It gives Chuck Schumer a working majority in the Senate while several Republicans play games with quarantines. In the past, they have literally had senators wheeled in on death beds or carried in on stretchers to cast important votes

Can you just imagine Tuberville exhorting the Senate to vote one way or the other?!! The sports channels would feature it.

Too little, too late, Douggie boy. You proved yourself to be a dependable tool of the Dem party leadership and you are out of a job next November.

In the age of the internet and high speed telecommunication, why does a Senator have to be PHYSICALLY present in DC to cast his vote or even make a speech?

Why can’t a Senator vote remotely by video with a LOUD AYE?

Agreed. Sessions also does better against Jones. I don’t agree with Sessions’s move to recuse himself, but Trump should let bygones be bygones.

Doug Jones is a lame duck walking.

Caretaker is a dead duck. Looks like Tubby's going to be the nominee; it'll be interesting to see what type of sordid dirt they try to pin on him.

They'll be going through his tenure at Auburn with a fine-toothed comb.

Little Dougie Fresh (Rick & Bubba reference), you voted to impeach one of the best presidents in the history of our nation. Do you think we voters in the great state of AL are going to forget about that?
