Tommy Tuberville appears concerned about America weakening Russia

By Tom Boggioni

During a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) appeared to stun and baffle Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines when he appeared to side with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Ukraine during his questioning.

During her testimony, carried live by CSPAN, Director Haines told the Senate panel that she believes that Russia is setting the stage for for a prolonged conflict in Ukraine, and adding that "likely means the next few months could see us moving along a more unpredictable and potentially escalatory trajectory.”

Given the opportunity to question the intel official, Tuberville struggled to read the questions in front of him, finally asking Haines about comments made by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in reference to the country invaded by Putin.

"Do you believe that, noted, uh..." he began before pausing and finally stating, "When he, uh, said that Russia weakened (sic) and that the U.S. will move heaven and earth to arm Ukraine, uh, do you believe that is right? He should say that?"
