Tuberville turns focus on opponent Doug Jones — ‘Believes in’ late-term abortions, ‘wants to take your guns’

With a little over 100 days to go until Alabamians go to vote in this year’s general election, they will have an opportunity to reelect incumbent Sen. Doug Jones (D-Mountain Brook) or the Republican nominee former Auburn head football coach Tommy Tuberville to represent them in the U.S. Senate for the next six years.

Coming off his 20-point win over former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions last week, Tuberville appeared on Huntsville radio’s WVNN on Thursday to discuss his victory and set his sights on Jones.

Tuberville made mention of differences between him and the incumbent Democrat U.S. Senator on abortion, gun rights, judicial appointments and the effort to impeach President Donald Trump.

“People, don’t look at Republican, Democrat,” he said. “Look at the differences of what we believe in. He believes in Planned Parenthood and abortion and late-term abortion. I don’t. I’m pro-life. And he wants to take your guns. The whole Democratic Party wants to take our guns, and you can’t fight back against these groups, what they’re doing on the streets of Northwest [U.S.] cities. The other is conservative judges. He wants these radical judges on the Supreme Court, and we cannot allow that to happen. That’s the number one thing for a Senator — is to get good conservative judges on the Supreme Court. And, of course, they spent every day, and he spent every day in the Senate concocting ways to impeach the best president we’ve had in my lifetime, Donald J. Trump, and then voted to impeach him. The people in Alabama did not want that. Even a lot of Democrats did not want that. And he still votes to impeach.”

Tuberville went on to accuse Jones of casting votes for his campaign contributors and not Alabamians.

“Doug Jones votes with people that give him money from the Northwest and the Northeast,” Tuberville added. “He does not speak for the people of Alabama. That’s the reason I ran. I am going to speak for the people of Alabama, and that’s the reason we’re going to win this race.”
