---Democrat Doug Jones made history Tuesday with his stunning upset over Republican Roy Moore in the Senate election in Alabama, but one of the most memorable moments of the day came during several seconds of dead air on CNN.
As voting was winding down, Moore spokesman Ted Crockett appeared on CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper. In a tense 10-minute interview, the host pressed Crockett to explain some of Moore’s reactionary views, including his belief that Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to serve in Congress.
