‘Liberal love story’: Doug Jones criticized for voting to re-elect Schumer

After Sen. Doug Jones (D-Mountain Brook) voted to re-elect Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as Senate minority leader on Wednesday, Alabama’s junior senator was criticized for doubling down “on Support of Chuck Schumer’s Liberal Agenda.”

In an email sent out by the Senate Leadership Fund, which is Alabama native and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) leadership committee, Jones was hit for his “latest embrace of the liberal Schumer-Pelosi agenda that already includes opposition to President Trump’s Supreme Court nominees and support of sanctuary cities and late term abortions.”

The email then advised that Jones should not expect to be around Capitol Hill after 2020.

“If Jones wants to know how this liberal love story ends, he can grab a roll of packing tape, take a walk over to the offices of Joe Donnelly, Heidi Heitkamp and Claire McCaskill, and proceed to help them pack up their belongings,” the email concluded.
