Doug Jones celebrates Senate win over Roy Moore with ‘Teach Me How to Dougie’
Doug Jones, after defeating Roy Moore for an Alabama Senate seat, walked out following his victory speech to “Teach Me How to Dougie.”
Cali Swag District’s ode to a hip-hop dance includes the lyrics: “Errybody love me, Er-Errybody love me.”
C-SPAN captured the moment.
C-SPAN2 was taking the mixer feed from Doug Jones victory speech and so when he finished, the only audio on C-SPAN2 was 30 solid seconds of “Teach Me How To Dougie.” pic.twitter.com/sYa6Y1bGlm
