A leading voice in the Alabama Democratic Party is facing backlash this week after telling Trump supporters on social media they should stay silent about the child abuse ring uncovered in Bibb County.
Bibb County Sheriff Jody Wade last week detailed horrifying findings of a months-long investigation into a child sex trafficking ring that authorities say victimized at least 15 children.
Former Democratic candidate for office and Miss America 2013 Mallory Hagan responded to the horrific news on TikTok by telling supporters of President Donald Trump to “shut your mouth” about the issue.

“I’m about to say something that’s going to piss a lot of folks off, and if it makes you mad, if it pisses you off, I think you should really look inside yourself and consider why,” Hagan said.
“If you still support Donald Trump, do not fix your mouth to talk about those babies in Bibb County. If you live in Alabama and you voted for Donald Trump, I better not see your ass comment or say anything, nothing, because the cognitive dissonance is outrageous around here.”

Hagan ran against U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) in 2018 as a Democrat and lost, and then ran against State Rep. Phillip Rigsby (R-Huntsville) for Alabama House in 2022 and lost then as well.
“How is it that you can find empathy in your heart and call for the death penalty for people who have clearly committed outrageous crimes, but you can’t see that same quality in the man that you have thrice probably voted for,” Hagan continued. “So if you still support Donald Trump, shut your mouth. Shut your mouth talking about any form of [child sexual abuse] CSA.”
The children have been removed from the home and are now in the care of the Alabama Department of Human Resources, receiving medical, emotional, and psychological support.
Bibb County Sheriff Jody Wade spoke recently to the importance of protecting the children’s identities and minimizing further trauma.
