Last week, close friend to Doug Jones and Alabama State Rep. John Rogers took to the statehouse floor and loudly declared, “Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later.” On top of that, Rogers later said that President Trump’s son is “the best defense I have right there for an abortion looking at him.”
Shortly after his disgusting remarks made national headlines , Alabama Democrat Doug Jones appeared to publicly condemn Rogers’ remarks in a tweet, saying he “does not speak for the people of Alabama.”
But behind closed doors, Jones called Rogers to tell him he was right on his sickening abortion remarks.
Yellowhammer News shined a light today on comments from Rogers on Talk 99.5 detailing his phone call with Jones, saying: “[H]e called me twice. He told me, ‘John, I know you’re right but I [have] to come out against you.”
This begs the question: What is Doug Jones more concerned about: Alabamians or his political career?
“Today’s revelation about Doug Jones’ views behind closed doors confirms what the Alabama Democrat truly is: just another two-faced politician who cares more about his political career than the lives of the unborn. Alabamians deserve a Senator who serves more than just himself and his interests.” -RNC Spokesperson Ellie Hockenbury

State Rep. John Rogers (D-Birmingham) is taking issue with how Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) publicly denounced his viral abortion remarks, revealing that Alabama’s junior senator actually called him to say he was correct but that for political reasons he had to throw Rogers under the bus.
In a nearly hour-long interview on Talk 99.5’s “Matt & Aunie Show” on Monday morning, Rogers sharply responded to Jones calling his House floor speech on abortion “outrageous” and demanding that Rogers apologize.

“[H]e called me twice. He told me, ‘John, I know you’re right but I [have] to come out against you,'” Rogers said. “I said, ‘OK, fine, if it’s going to help your campaign, do that.’ That’s the kind of guy I am.”
He stressed that Jones told him that what he said “was hurting” Jones politically.
“You don’t chastise me, holler at me like that,” Rogers added. “He issued an apology for me. I told Doug Jones, I said, ‘bye.’ I’m not talking to you, we don’t have to talk anymore. Because I don’t appreciate that… you don’t chastise me… hollering and shouting because I’m hurting your re-election. It’s bigger than re-election, what I was talking about.”
Rogers then asserted that 40-50 people have come to him since last week urging him to run against Jones in the 2020 U.S. Senate primary.
“Doug Jones was a good friend of mine,” he later said.
Co-host Andrea Lindenberg asked, “Is?”
“I said, ‘was,'” Rogers emphasized. “And that’s how I feel about it right now.”
He added that he felt Jones “was throwing him under the bus.”
Rogers said Jones’ actions were worse, considering Rogers, a pro-life Catholic, had “made a sacrifice” for pro-choice people like Jones.
“I could get excommunicated from my church,” Rogers lamented.
He emphasized Democrats like Jones were denouncing him solely for political reasons, even though they actually agree with him.
“[Just because] I spoke out on it,” Rogers said. “I think they are scared… they are scared to the bone. I don’t mind telling you, and I told [Jones] this. People agree with me, I’m right.”
