This man was an absolute unit!

Gosh, I miss him! I wish we had more senators of class and character like Howell Heflin!

[@MrSteelermania]

Last of the great southern democrats

[@evanshiong3557]

After he left office, Republicans have held both of Alabamas senate seats for 22 of the next 25 years except for the period from 2017 to 2020 when Doug Jones was in office.

I miss hearing his accent so much!

[@chasethehistorian2003]

Back in the day when politicians knew how to retire , wish he was alive to tell McConnell , Grassley and Angus king etc to do the same

[@nickeichstaedt9379]

He looks like a mix of JB Pritzker and John Kennedy.

Dude kind of looks like John Kennedy (the senator from Louisiana).

[@startrekkid205]

Passing the torch to another generation meant passing the torch to Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the third 😂😞
