Senate candidate loser Roy Moore has gone after Doug Jones’ gay son days after failing to concede following his loss in the Alabama election.

The hardcore Republican, who is accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old while he was in his 30s, loss to the Democrat in an important election for a seat in the Senate earlier this month.

He is anti-LGBT community. So it confused and angered a lot of people when he posted a link to an article about Jones’ gay son, Carson.

The piece, by Advocate, was centered around Carson’s delight over his father’s victory.


Moore — or someone from his team — posted it on his Facebook page with no caption. It’s unlikely that Moore’s suddenly turned pro-gay, so skeptics see this at some sort of dig at Jones to stir up his supporters.



The post was later removed.

Moore’s own son has been arrested nine times. The latest, back in October, was related to illegal hunting.

Moore dismissed it as a ‘political trick’.

Caleb Moore was arrested on drug charges in 2015, but those were dropped after he entered a pre-trial diversion program.

Church bombing Years before running for Senate, Jones made a name for himself prosecuting two KKK members for the bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church, a brutal crime that killed four black girls in 1963. One Klansman was convicted in the blast in 1977, and a renewed investigation was underway by the time President Bill Clinton appointed Jones as US attorney in Birmingham in 1997. Jones led a team of federal and state attorneys during trials that resulted in the convictions of Thomas Blanton Jr. in 2001 and Bobby Frank Cherry in 2002. Last year, Jones was among the speakers who urged Alabama’s parole board to refuse an early release for Blanton. The board agreed, and Blanton remains in prison serving life for murder.

Jones, an attorney, used his own history prosecuting KKK members to mobilize support in the black community.

The 63-year-old grew up in the working-class city of Fairfield, just west of Birmingham. His father was a steelworker and so was one of his grandfathers.

Now an attorney in private practice, Jones lives just a few miles from his hometown in the hilly suburb of Mountain Brook, Alabama’s richest locale with an average family income estimated by the US Census Bureau at $225,000 annually.

Jones got his start in government as an aide to the last Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Alabama, the late Howell Heflin.

After graduating from Samford University’s law school in 1979, Jones worked as staff counsel to the Judiciary Committee for Heflin, and Jones still considers Heflin a role model.
