U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., accused Democrats of intentionally encouraging crime as a way of extorting reparation payments during a racially-charged statement delivered at a political rally in Nevada over the weekend.
that “There is some *EXPLETIVE* here but it isn’t what @TTuberville thinks it is. The *EXPLETIVE* is that this guy is a United States Senator in the first place.”“I was disappointed to hear Senator Tuberville’s comments at this weekend’s MAGA rally,” Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Dist. 7, said. “His words were painfully reminiscent of the racist tropes that have been used to vilify African Americans for generations. There is no place for this kind of language in our state or our nation.
Tuberville has not responded to requests for comment, nor has Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey. However, the Alabama Republican Party has released a statement through its chairman. “I did not watch the rally, so I don’t know the exact context of Senator Tuberville’s remarks,” said ALGOP Chairman John Wahl. “However, Coach Tuberville is well known for his work with people of all backgrounds, both on the field and off. His record and respect of others speaks volumes about his integrity and character.”
It should be noted that Laxalt has also used racist language on the 2022 campaign trail in which he’s promoted the ‘Great Replacement’ theory, which contends that non-white people are being brought in to the United States to replace white Americans by, as Laxalt believes, “the Left.” The same racist conspiracy theory was promoted by a mass shooter who killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store in May.Latest News
