Doug Jones’ gay son sentences Mike Pence to life in side-eye prison

Yesterday was a historic moment for side-eye — and, you know, the state of Alabama or whatever.
Democrat Doug Jones was sworn in Wednesday by Vice President Mike Pence, making him Alabama’s first Democratic Senator in 25 years. Alongside the newly minted senator was his son, Carson Jones, who is gay. During the swearing in, Carson delivered some seriously harsh side-eye to our infamously anti-gay vice president.
There will be no chance of probation or parole in Carson Jones’ prison of judgment.

Hooooly crap, Doug Jones did it.
On Tuesday night, he became the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Alabama since 1992, back when Kris Kross was still a thing.
Looks like saying homophobic and racist things — along with being accused of sexually assaulting teenagers — didn’t work out too well for Republican Roy Moore.
