0:00This is Cory with the story, here with your quick two-minute update from Birmingham News today. Former Alabama Senator Doug Jones, now running for governor as a Democrat, is slamming his opponent Republican Senator Tommy Tuverville over Reethan. Social media posts about radical Islam's growing influence in the U.S. Jones fired back on X, calling Tuverville's remarks racist in Islamophobic, saying they represent a new low in divisive politics and even cheer on. He accused Tuverville of using dog whistle tactics for votes, warning that Alabama has been generations healing from past leaders who stoked hatred instead of unity. Jones urged people from all faiths and politics to stand together, while blasting Republican leaders in Washington and Montgomery for not speaking out against the comments. Tuverville brushed off the criticism, telling reporters that the story is just moving to another chapter. D&N is sponsored by our partner.
