In a statement to Yellowhammer News on Wednesday, Donald Trump, Jr. reacted to the confirmation that Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) will vote to convict President Donald Trump on both articles of impeachment.
“The great myth that Doug Jones is some kind of ‘moderate’ has been completely debunked,” the president’s eldest son said.
“The good news is that he’ll be gone in a matter of months and replaced by the kind of America First senator the great people of Alabama deserve,” Trump concluded.
He also quipped in a tweet that it is time to start referring to Jones as “*former senator Doug Jones.”
