Answer the question.
Via Fox News:
Alabama Democratic Senate nominee Doug Jones says it’s “absurd” for the campaign of GOP opponent Roy Moore to characterize him as an “ultra-liberal.”
“That’s pretty absurd,” Jones told Fox News’ Peter Doocy on Saturday at a fish fry in Birmingham. “You know, that’s their only hope. I mean look, they’re in desperation mode right now.”
As the Moore campaign tries to move past the allegations of sexual misconduct that have crippled his campaign over the last week, they are emphasizing Jones’ stances on cultural issues. Moore’s wife, Kayla Moore, took aim at Jones’ positions during a speech in Montgomery on Friday.
“Our opponent — who is an ultra-liberal, who was an Obama delegate, who is for full-term abortions, who is for more gun restrictions, who is for transgender bathrooms, who is for transgender [people] in the military — is against everything we in Alabama believe and stand for,” Kayla Moore said.
Jones on Saturday let out a loud laugh when asked to respond to that.
“If you look at the positions I’ve got on health care, if you look at the positions I got on jobs, you should look at the support I have from the business community, I think I’m pretty mainstream,” Jones said. “I want to reach across the aisle…So I don’t really care what he says about me.”
