Tommy Tuberville Is Full of Sh*t For Denouncing White Nationalists After Supporting Them

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., l, listens during the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing to examine the nomination of Army Lt. Gen. Randy George to be reappointment to the grade of general and to be Chief of Staff of the Army, Wednesday, July 12, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington.

After vehemently defending white nationalists, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville attempted to walk back his racist commentary. As he left the Senate floor Tuesday, he stated to reporters: “White nationalists are racists.” His remark comes just one day after he told CNN that if people deem white nationalists racist then that’s just simply their opinion.

“My opinion of a White nationalist, if someone wants to call them White nationalist, to me is an American,” Tuberville said during an interview on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins.” He continued: “I’m totally against racism, and if the Democrats want to say white nationalists are racist then I’m against that too.”

When Collins said that the definition of a white nationalist is someone who wants to turn America into a white ethnostate—which is inherently racist—Tuberville retorted by saying “That’s your opinion.” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned Tuberville on Tuesday by saying he was just “wrong, wrong, wrong.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also stated that “White supremacy is simply unacceptable in the military and in the whole country.” Republican whip Sen. John Thune explained to reporters that Tuberville’s remarks were asinine and that Thune was “not sure exactly what he was trying to say there.” Read more
