In a tweet on Monday, Donald Trump, Jr. reacted to a video first reported by Yellowhammer News that shows Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) calling a question about his opposition to President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees “dumb.”

Hailing Alabama as “arguably the country’s most pro-Trump state,” Trump, Jr. slammed Jones for not representing the majority of his constituents in being “an anti-Trump senator.”

The president’s son also reacted to the cringeworthy exchange captured on video, commenting, “I’d imagine the people of the Great State of Alabama will have something to say about this at the ballot box.”


Jones faces reelection in 2020. He has pledged to back whomever the Democrats ultimately nominate against Trump, no matter how radical that individual is.
