Uh last night, you know, last night there was real concern the voters in alabama would put an alleged child molester and bigot and homophobe, all the bad things santa frowns on, in the United States senate. [ laughter ] but it didnt happen. The special election actually turned out to be a very special election after all. Last night doug jones beat roy moore to become the first [ cheers and applause ] democratic senator from alabama since 1992. It was a major upset. A republican losing to a democrat in alabama is like a grizzly bear losing to a fish. [ laughter ] it just doesnt happen. Unless the republican happens to be so creepy around young girls, he was banned from the local mall. If the republican youre running against is not allowed inside forever 21, your odds of winning increase significantly. [ laughter ] it is kind of depressing that in 2017, barely not electing an alleged pedophile to the senate is something to celebrate. [ laughter ] but well take what we can get at this poi
