Alabama’s lone Democratic congresswoman is defending her criticism of President Joe Biden after media reports said he plans to keep Space Command headquarters in Colorado not Huntsville.
But by Wednesday, Sewell’s statement received blowback as constituents unleashed their ire and questioned her position on the morning talk show airwaves. “I’m not saying I am in solidarity with the Republicans,” Sewell said on the radio show. “I am saying that Huntsville won the competition fair and square, and they did so over a four-year process. Having said that, it does mean that we lost economic opportunities that were slated to bring billions of dollars and thousands of jobs to our state.”
Critics, including Richardson, noted that while Sewell showed support with Republican colleagues, Alabama Republicans are solidly against Democratic initiatives. Sewell was the only member of the delegation to vote for the American Rescue Plan Act, the pandemic initiative that brought billions to the state and local governments. She is most often the only member of the delegation to vote in favor of White House initiatives.
Rather, Sewell said Alabama is the victim of politics illustrated in part by Tuberville’s “reckless hold” on military assignments. She said Tuberville’s statement and actions along with others illustrate Alabama’s “war” on women’s reproductive rights and voting rights, putting the state at odds with national policy and damaging its reputation.
