Friday during an appearance on Birmingham’s Talk 99.5’s “Matt & Aunie Show,” Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) weighed in on the current controversy surrounding U.S. Supreme Court associate justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation and how his colleagues in the U.S. Senate are handling the confirmation process to date.
During the segment, Rogers responded to a question about his House colleague Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Fairhope) calling on Sen. Doug Jones (D-Mountain Brook) to vote for Kavanaugh’s confirmation if Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford did not step forward and announce her intentions to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Calhoun County Republican agreed with Byrne and suggested Jones “represent the majority will” of Alabamians.
“We are representatives,” he said. “Our job is to represent our district and our state in that body in Washington, D.C. It is Doug Jones’ job to represent the majority will in Alabama when he casts his vote in Washington. If this lady does not testify and convince the Senate — the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full Senate of the validity of her charge, I don’t see how you can look at anybody in Alabama and say he is doing his job by voting against her.”
