- University of North Alabama Student Government Association President Jake Statom has recently come under criticism for posting a picture on his Instagram of a T-shirt that said, “Born this way? You must be born again.” As calls for him to resign have mounted, some Alabama House Republicans have voiced their support for Statom.
- State Representative Jamie Kiel (R-Russellville) said that Statom has a “right to promote traditional morals and values on his personal social media platforms.” State Representatives Andrew Sorrell (R-Muscle Shoals), Phillip Pettus (R-Killen) and Lynn Greer (R-Rogersville), and State Senators Larry Stutts (R-Tuscumbia) and Tim Melson (R-Florence) are part of a resolution stating their support for Statom against “cancel culture.”
