VIDEO: Reopening Alabama, the media and their Democrats push Alabama Medicaid expansion, Joe Biden benefits from a double-standard and more on Alabama Politics This Week

—

April 19, 2020

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Executive Committee member Lisa Handback take you through this week’s biggest political stories, including:

— Will Alabama reopen before May 1?

— Would a Medicaid expansion in Alabama have changed a single thing about the coronavirus outbreak in the state?

— How does former Vice President Joe Biden avoid scrutiny over accusations of sexual assault?

Jackson and Handback are joined by Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth to discuss his recommendations on opening local businesses and getting back to normal.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL), who seems to be more interested in chasing dollars from Washington, D.C., New York and California than he is in getting voters in Alabama.
