US Senator Doubles Down On Support For White Nationalists: "We All Got Different Beliefs"

[SouthernCal_Dem]

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) offered some head-scratching replies to a reporter on Thursday when he was pressed to clarify his recent remarks in favor of white nationalists being in the military – remarks he appeared to double down on.

Tuberville argued that the term “white nationalist” has become synonymous with Trump supporters, and appeared to conflate white nationalism with religious beliefs. He told NBC reporter Julie Tsirkin, “…white nationalists, I mean, what the heck is that? We all got different beliefs. You know I’m a Church of Christ, Catholics, we got different people. And we have to make one military. We can’t start distinguishing different types of people.”

Tuberville was given the opportunity to clarify comments he made to Alabama’s WBHM radio station on Monday when asked if white nationalists should be allowed to serve in the military. Referring to the Biden administration, Tuberville replied, “They call them that. I call them Americans.”

Republicans are on the path to fully embracing white nationalism.

1. The enemy of our WWII soldiers is my enemy too!

Those who walk lockstep with them behind closed doors are my enemies too.

[Hekate]

2. So does that "different beliefs" defense include Drag queens, Disney, & Democrats? Non-Christians?

Liberals and Peaceniks?

Didn’t think so, proto-Nazi Tuberville.

4. Yet this crank can impose a blanket denial of military personnel promotions? For any reason at all?

How the F does that come about?

Is this another one of those arcane "Gentlemen's Understandings" that trump commonsense?

5. There is nothing supreme about a white supremecist

When their one claim to fame or superiority is their skin color, they don't have much to brag about. They are bound more by unfounded hate than they are from being pigment challenged.

6. Stop calling them Republicans

They aren't. They are Fascist....

11. Tubby should just cut to the chase and appear wearing his KKK hood whenever he does interviews

14. Tuberville either flunked or never took debate class

White nationalists are trump supporters or vice versa. And white nationalism is all about religious beliefs. Hate, racism and ignorance religiously fuel trump supporters.

Tuber I’ll - (that’s what spell check does with his name) given the opportunity to clarify cranked up the volume on his large ignorance speaker. Cheered on by white nationalists what’s his name said he will destroy the military if racists aren’t allowed to run it. Because, by gawd this is a white Christian nation that should be run by manly white men with southern accents.

No way to win a debate dumbass.

15. He carries a train of thought as well as Trump does.
