Democratic Alabama Senate candidate Doug Jones said Tuesday that men who "hurt little girls" should be put in jail.

"I damn sure believe and have done my part to ensure that men who hurt little girls should go to jail, and not the United States Senate," Jones said during a speech.

His comments come as his GOP opponent, Roy Moore, is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

The Washington Post reported last month that a woman accused Moore of initiating a sexual encounter with her when she was 14 and he was 32. Multiple other women have come forward to allege sexual misconduct.

1. But in the eyes of most GOP voters, Jones did something FAR worse:

He put away the man who did this:

11. Alabama racists have without a doubt hated him for prosecuting a Klansman.

How can ANY one go on living after bombing a church, murdering four children.

Too bad he didn't commit suicide before Jones could prosecute him, instead of going on about his evil Klansman's life.

12. Birmingham Sunday...

2. actually, I think jail is too good for them. I know what SHOULD happen, but it won't.

3. the Prison inmates

would beat the crap out of him, they (inmates) don't fancy child molesters and pedophiles, while in the Senate they embrace you.

4. Gloves off

Good for him!

5. I smell a big, fat, lie of a story coming from the right....

Not today, too soon. But they likely have a hand full of well paid off story-tellers ready to talk later this week about how a certain dem abused them.

I wouldn't put it past them. In fact, I expect it of them.

Be ready. Something is coming. Kellyanne hinted at it when she said the only way the dems could win is with an ambush. What she was saying was the way the gop will win is with an ambush, just like the comie presser just before the election.

6. yeah, is there early voting?

they will find someone, you are correct. and at the last minute, so that there is no time for confirmation or nuance.
they will at least throw out one more franken accuser.

9. yes, but I don't know how much.....

Absentee Ballots went out in october. I don't know how many people use them, mostly military, ex-pats, and elderly I suspect. From that demographic, I suspect most would be moore supporters anyway.

7. I just donated to him again after I heard hime say that....

I am watching my spending these days on so much, but at this point, I would rather give up something and know I donated and tried to help him win, then to just sit and hope that the honorable and truthful candidate wins.

8. Good, show some fire.

I think our side has been too timid and too afraid to show much emotion about right vs. wrong...but that's what persuades people to listen to you and agree with you. Fox News and conservative radio use that technique 24/7.

10. Jones went after Moore for his gun stagecraft as well

13. I appreciate his point, but

Can we please not call teenagers "little girls"? That does a disservice to them by infantalizing them, I believe. After all, no one calls teenage boys "little boys", do they?

15. "young women below the age of consent"

doesn't roll off the tongue as well. it doesn't stick in the mind of your average voter.

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Amen! Go Mr. Jones, go!!!

16. MENTION THE THEOCRACY, DOUG!

He's been impeached TWICE! MENTION IT!
