Sen.-elect Doug Jones (D-AL) on Wednesday said he received a “very gracious” call from President Donald Trump congratulating him on his upset victory, but he has not spoken with Republican opponent Roy Moore, who has not conceded yet.
“It was a very gracious call. I very much appreciated it,” Jones said at a press conference of his call with Trump. “He congratulated me on the race that we won. He congratulated me and my staff on the way and the manner in which we handled this campaign and went forward.”
Jones said he and Trump “talked about finding common ground to work together.”
“He invited me over to the White House to visit as soon as I get up there,” Jones said. “So it was a very nice phone call, a very pleasant phone call, and I appreciated him very much reaching out to me.”
Earlier in the press conference, a reporter asked Jones if he had spoken with Moore, who has not conceded and who has suggested he may demand a recount.
“I have not,” Jones said.
“Do you think that he should concede?” a reporter asked.
“I’m going to leave that to him,” Jones said. “I’m going to reach out.”
“I’m going to reach out.”
Better hold off for now Dougy. Moore is no doubt not even finished screaming about all the minority votes that should never ever have been allowed to be cast in the first place and which stole his rightful whiteful god-given heritagey place as one of the rulers of this krischun nashun.
My guess is Moore is just hoping people will forget about him so he’s not dragged in front of a judge for pedophilia
Right. I’m sure he’s just so excited to meet you and he wants absolutely nothing in return.
Take your Purell, Senator Jones. Everything’s toxic in that WH right now.
A gracious call? Someone had to be holding a gun to his head.
Maybe the Trump that called was Ivanka.
