Vaya Con Muñoz 12.16.17

In Vaya Con Muñoz

Black women in particular sent Democrat Doug Jones to the U.S. Senate this week, helping to save the country from hate. And more than 22,000 write in votes, most probably from Republicans who could not abide Roy Moore, also were also crucial to send a decent man to the Senate over an alleged pedophile accused by several women. Troubling though that Moore still recieved 650,000 votes, about 20,000 less than Jones. What does that say about Alabama?
