Fox News Talking Point: Doug Jones Is A Lame Duck Senator
Fox News' Brit Hume claimed on the eve of Doug Jones’ (D) historic election result in Alabama that he is already a lame duck Senator.
You can't make this up, folks. And Hume wasn't the only Fox News personality echoing those sentiments.
They made sure to throw shade on Jones' incredible victory and tried to give some hope to their Trump-loving viewers.
During Fox News' Ingraham Angle, Bret Baier's Fox News all-stars cut into Laura Ingraham's program to announce that Doug Jones had won the Alabama special election.
After Chris Wallace and Dana Perino weighed in, Baier asked Brit Hume to give us his thoughts. Hume remarked that Steve Bannon's power had also been tarnished with this loss.
Baier asked, "You covered the last Democrat, Howell Heflin to win in Alabama. It's been a long time."
Hume chuckled but then had a hard time concentrating on the outcome of this election.
Brit said, "Yes, it's been quite a long time. I remember Howell Heflin well. Howell Heflin, when he was a Democrat was of a democratic breed that no longer really exists. Heflin was pretty conservative on a lot of issues and he wasn't somebody that the Democratic leadership could count on."
Then he got confused.
"I think looking at Roy Moore's record, he will be pretty much a down the line vote for things the Democratic leadership really wants."
Baier reminded him, "Doug Jones."
