Until he stops watching OAN and Fox, his mind will continue to be obsessed with nonsense, while matters that require leadership are ignored.

As important as college football is to the people of Alabama, one would think that their senior senator, a high profile former coach, would be working relentlessly to secure an anti-trust exemption for NCAA sports and/or federal regulations concerning NIL etc.  I suppose that is just too  much work.

The person asking Tommy the question should have taken it a step further.

 

"What about a White Nationalist who also participates in drag shows?"

[homersapien 11,812]

That is some of the most breathtaking ignorance I've ever seen.   He cannot be that oblivious to what these people (white nationalists/neo-nazis) are all about.

Either that, or he's simply one of them.  I would normally have found that impossible to accept but then, nobody's that ignorant!

What an absolute disgrace he's become.

He's dumb as a rock and evil as a demon.

GOP Sen. Tuberville blocked 184 military promotions in his ongoing abortion fight with the Pentagon.

He’s finally learned how to be offensive.

[tomcat 571]

Tubs spent years jerking off Auburn from duck blind for that years fat, usually unearned, mid contract pay increase. He’s an obsessive self promoter. My fear is that he is now trying to position himself as an alternative in 2024 to Trump and Desantis. Only the Auburn faithful will remember who this guy really is.

Alabama senator on white nationalists in the military: 'I call them Americans'

Zoë Richards

~3 minutes

---

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., appeared to defend white nationalists in a recent interview by suggesting they should not be barred from serving in the military, prompting his office to clarify the remarks.

In an interview published this week by Birmingham-based radio station WBHM, Tuberville criticized the state of the military and said Democrats were to blame.

"We are losing in the military — so fast — our readiness in terms of recruitment," said Tuberville, a member of the Armed Services Committee. "And why? I can tell you why. Because the Democrats are attacking our military, saying we need to get out the white extremists, the white nationalists, people that don’t believe in [President Joe Biden's] agenda."

Asked whether he believed white nationalists should be allowed in the military, Tuberville said: “They call them that. I call them Americans.”

A spokesperson said Wednesday that Tuberville’s comments were an expression of his skepticism that white nationalism was an issue among service members.

"Sen. Tuberville’s quote shows that he was being skeptical of the notion that there are white nationalists in the military, not that he believes they should be in the military," Steven Stafford said in a statement first shared with AL.com.

Stafford separately told NBC News that Tuberville "has kind of a sarcastic sense of humor" and that "he was expressing doubt about this being a problem in the military."

"I think if people hear his tone of voice, it’s clear what he’s saying," Stafford said, adding that Tuberville was "referring to this specific training issue that lots of other people, lots of other senators have talked about."

The Defense Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday night.

Tuberville has expressed opposition to training that aims to rid the military of extremists. At a March 28 hearing with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Tuberville suggested Austin had put service members through "hell" by requiring "a mandatory training to root out extremists."

Austin responded that the military has "always had regulations against extremist behavior."

A Pentagon report from 2020 that was made public the next year detailed examples of white supremacy in the military without providing an estimate of the number of white supremacists in the services and called for changes in recruiting methods to identify any applicants’ possible ties to domestic terrorism. Months later, Austin ordered new steps to address the threat posed by extremism in the military.

Well, one thing you can say is that the Alabama electorate truly elected 'one of their own' to represent them.

"Lying" implies he knows better.  I don't think he does.  He is just flat out some combination of ignorant and crazy.

i do not believe he was trying to be sarcastic. he ran his mouth and it blew up in his face and he had to have a staff member back it down. i hate it because i loved tubs ability to beat the turds,
