Trump said immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America. Tommy Tuberville thinks the former president is too soft
Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville expressed his disappointment on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s comments accusing migrants of “poisoning the blood of our country” weren’t even more xenophobic.
During a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday, Trump told a crowd of supporters that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country … That’s what they’ve done. They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world — not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country, from Africa, from Asia — all over the world. They’re pouring into our country.”
While President Joe Biden’s campaign pointed out similarities between Trump’s comments and the writings of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, Republicans were quick to excuse the screed. Tuberville took things a step further by complaining to reporters that Trump’s comments weren’t harsh enough.
Of course it’s Tuberville. The stupidest man in congress. All the political understanding and knowhow of a turnip.
The stupidest man in congress.
At least now that Gohmert is gone.
And I appreciate you specifying that he’s the stupidest “man” in Congress, because Bobo is truly a special kind of stupid.
I actually meant the senate anyway. There is a lot of competition if you include the house.
Gohmert was such a treasure. I mean, he absolutely wasn’t, but still.
Remember that time they put a mirror on his desk so that he’d peck at that instead of interrupting a hearing by landing on the chairman’s head?
The man honestly has the intellect of a wilted parsnip
Great name though.
Every single gop shitcunt traitor can fuck off and die.
You are being too soft.
Sorry, Tommy. You’re not charismatic enough to wear Trump’s crown, and this thinly veiled attempt to save face with your supporters after you lost your game of chicken with the military isn’t fooling anyone.
ETA: I do hope this is the beginning of a schism that casts doubt on how “pure” Trump is to be a part of the fascist push.
Famous border state Alabama. I mean I guess they have like 10 miles of the gulf
To all the people saying how stupid Tuberville is: have you considered that maybe he’s more evil than he is stupid?
Yeah… posted similar sentiment.
Thank you. Yes. At this point “stupid” is just an excuse, almost a "get-out-of-further-questioning-free card, and a mechanism through which people can avoid having to measure what it means if his actions are knowing and deliberate.
Which they are. They are far too specific and pointed and effective to be accidental. Which means that he is very likely involved in illegalities, planning his own place and part in the next coup, possibly doing it for pay (or getting paid in promises), a hater of the country and constitution he swore to uphold, and of course completely amoral.
To say the same thing in different words, he is an American Senator plotting the downfall of the American government and doing everything in his power to kneecap its military leadership while possibly being on Putin’s payroll and almost certainly plotting with Trump to invalidate the results of our next election.
Because NO one is both that orderly and specific in intent AND that stupid.
I would also note that he only backed down when the entire Senate had already begun its end run around his tactics, plus the whispers that he was only doing it to save high-level military leadership slots for Trump supporters in a coup finally started to gain a tiny bit of traction in the press and would only have gotten louder.
That’s not stupid, that’s cutting losses and stepping aside so the next guy can step up and start again in the new year.
Okay, he’s not a funny redneck clown. He’s definitely an insurrectionist weakening the military from protecting the constitution and the people.
Refuse to do se their preferred name for starters.
It’s likey Thomas. Include their middle name too so they know.
Same for Rafael Edward Cruz.
That is so extreme from Tom. How much racism does Tom need exactly ?
I think he wants the whole human rights abuses platter, a large side of misogyny, enough racism for the whole table, a couple pitchers of evangelical self-righteousness, and maybe some beat-the-wife for dessert.
Did I get your order right, “Coach”?
Violating a big command in Christianity, but what else is new with Republicans?
Normally I’d say he’s being a traffic cone of a human being impeding progress. However in this case they’re more like human traffic spikes…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville expressed his disappointment on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s comments accusing migrants of “poisoning the blood of our country” weren’t even more xenophobic.
While President Joe Biden’s campaign pointed out similarities between Trump’s comments and the writings of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, Republicans were quick to excuse the screed.
Trump himself has promised a harsh crackdown on immigrants should he retake the presidency in 2024, one that includes mass deportations and a network of migrant detainment camps.
In October of last year, Tuberville drew widespread criticism after delivering a racist, anti-Black screed during a Trump rally in Nevada.
In November, the Alabama senator claimed that the Biden administration’s border policies would result in “a 9/11 attack every few weeks if we don’t watch it.”
“I call them Americans.” During the same interview, Tuberville accused the Biden administration of “destroying” the U.S. military by working to remove individuals affiliated with extremist movements from the armed services.
