The former Auburn University football coach, a political neophyte running to unseat Sen. Doug Jones (D), was asked whether he supported extending the landmark 1965 civil rights statute during a Sept. 1 call with the Birmingham, Alabama, Sunrise Rotary Club.
His answer (which can be listened to in the clip above) verges on the incomprehensible and raises doubts about his understanding of the law that was key to ending the sweeping suppression of voting by Black people in the South:
“You know, the thing about the Voting Rights Act it’s, you know ― there’s a lot of different things you can look at it as, you know, who’s it going to help? What direction do we need to go with it? I think it’s important that everything we do we keep secure. We keep an eye on it. It’s run by our government. And it’s run to the, to the point that we, it’s got structure to it. It’s like education. I mean, it’s got to have structure. Now for some reason, we look at things to change, to think we’re gonna make it better, but we better do a lot of work on it before we make a change.”

Running back slips through those tackles, defense can't lay a hand on him. War Eagles! All that pre-season practice paid off - he's like a greased pig today, folks! Comment? Sure I'll give you a comment...

Former football coaches should never be allowed near the U.S. Senate much less serve in it. I know, I had one as a father-in-law. Best not let them get near a hedge fund either, for their own good. Oh and if they endorse a car dealership? Fuggedabout buying a car there...
