AL(dot)com reporter blames Trump election win for ‘aggressive’ male students at University of Alabama; Urges women ‘to be safe’ while Trump is in Tuscaloosa

November 7, 2019

For decades, the Mobile Press-Register, the Birmingham News and the Huntsville Times, the newspapers currently under the AL(dot)com umbrella, were three of the state’s most important newspapers of record.

While it is not clear if that is any longer the case, the editorial direction of those newspapers, which serve more as a print-version of the Internet-focused AL(dot)com, have taken a far-left tilt.

That was on display on Thursday in a tweet from AL(dot)com women and gender issues reporter Abbey Crain. The tweet seemingly tied President Donald Trump’s election win in 2016 to sexual assault and offered warning for Trump’s visit to the University of Alabama campus for this weekend’s college football match-up between the LSU Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Crain has struggled with the notion of Trump becoming president going back to early 2016. Trump won Alabama in 2016 by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.
