Leaders in Alabama and beyond are reacting to Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s comments on how Democrats are in favor of reparations because they are “pro-crime.”

Alabama Democratic Party Chair Rep. Chris England said on Twitter that the comments were “bullshit”-- the same word Tuberville used to describe Democrats’ support of “reparation.”

“There is some bullshit here but it isn’t what (Tuberville) thinks it is. The bullshit is that this guy is a United States Senator in the first place,” England posted.

1. He doesn't represent me.

[maxsolomon]

22. Me either. I don't live in Alabama.

But if you do, sorry. He represents you.

The GQP doesn't care if they nominate qualified humans, they just want a quorum of imbeciles to clog the Senate with rhetorical bullshit. Power is more important than governing.

See: Tuberville, Johnson, Scott, and now Hershel Walker.

[Carlitos Brigante]

2. "Reparations" (which the party as whole is not for) equals "Pro crime"??! Hmmmm, he's

trying to say something here. I just can't seem to hood.... I mean put my finger on it......

[paleotn]

14. Yep...he is.

You'd think in the age of Trump they'd be emboldened enough to just say it plainly. Clearly. But oh no. Even today there's enough scruples left in their tiny little heads to realize such thinking is evil. And they're evil bastards for even thinking it.

[rubbersole]

18. It probably isn't scruples...

..probably donors that don't want to answer klan questions telling him to leave the robes in the trunk until the midterms are over.

[spanone]

3. K&R

[vlyons]

4. Tuberville should know, because ---

because Republicans are experts at being pro-crime.

[yankee87]

5. Dog whistles

Let’s face it, all he’s doing is saying, “the minorities are coming after your families “. Not only is he an absolute idiot, but he full embraces racism

[orleans]

23. not only are the minorities NOT coming after your families

but the republicons ARE coming after your social security & medicare & the uteruses of your wife and daughter

[alterfurz]

6. can't spell Tuberville without tuber

[Ferrets are Cool]

7. GD MF'er does NOT represent ME.

[COL Mustard]

8. I hear ya, brother.

I was down in Mobile earlier in the summer...nice place to visit, but glad I don't live there anymore!

[belpejic]

9. I think he has replaced Ron Johnson

As the dumbest Senator. Super difficult to do, but I believe that Tooberville takes the crown.

Now, if Herschel Walker somehow wins we may have a real competition on our hands.

[sprinkleeninow]

33. Have a difficult time deciding. louee gumballs, pawl gosart...

[belpejic]

34. To be fair, they are in the House

And there are so many more to decide from. 435 potential idiots as opposed to 100. Marjorie "Missing Link" Taylor (now that she's getting divorced for being a serial adultress--my god, google her tantric sex guru), Lauren "Chipmunk" Boebert, Louie "Gomer" Gohmert, Paul "SS" Gosar, Matt "Groomer" Gaetz, Jim "Gym" Jordan, the list goes on and on. Plus some of those House members seem to be more directly implicated in J6, Senator Josh "Hotfoot" Hawley notwithstanding. Good thing that Senator Tom "Big Bird" Cotton managed to keep a low profile, so far.

But I'm being juvenile...

[sprinkleeninow]

35. I realized that after I posted, but let them stay bc in my mind they're all lumped together.

[hadEnuf]

10. Why are we treating red states as if they are part of the United States?

They may be technically, but they are not in any other way and they do not want to be.

Do away with the Electoral College and ignore these fucknuts like Tuberville until the people of these states regain some sanity and clean out the fascist GOP..

[COL Mustard]

12. Some of their residents are not responsible for these idiots

And are loyal Americans. I wish we could just wave a wand and do away with the EC, but that takes an Amendment...not likely to pass in this climate!

[hadEnuf]

15. Yeah, I feel for the decent people in these red states.

But that shouldn't stop us from de-fanging the fascist scum leading them. We'd be doing them a favor.

[paleotn]

13. In the case of Alabama, Mississippi, et al.

we've been waiting for sanity regain since 1861. I'm not terribly confident they ever will. I think a kind of corporate spinoff is in order. Let them go off and be the English speaking version of a failed central american state. The Feds should stop throwing good money after bad. Yes. I'm serious.

[paleotn]

11. Alabama football

Connection with football and you could be Alabama monarch for life (King. Queens need not apply.) If not for Huntsville, the state would have the collective IQ of a cue ball.

[Tommymac]

16. HEY! Don't insult cue balls!!!!!

[BamaRefugee]

17. PLEASE! "Alabama football" means the University of Alabama, NOT Auburn, HE IS THE ENEMY!

ON EVERY LEVEL.
I love Alabama in so many ways, but check out my screen name, I just can't go back. I want to, I'm old. But I just can't.

[rubbersole]

19. He was a shitty coach.

And a shittier senator. Treasonous bastard.

[BamaRefugee]

20. You don't have to convince me!

I also grew up in South Carolina with STROM FUCKING THURMOND as my Senator.
Shittiness abounds Down South.
But there are lots of cool, good people, they all just stay on the down low and look out for each other when approached by marauding bands of rednecks, or, as they were called back in the day in South Carolina, "woolies". Because when they got out of the textile mills every day they were covered with lint, head to foot.

[rubbersole]

25. From Strom to Lindsey...

..I guess the state pissed off god somewhere along the line. I can't talk - I live in Central Florida (moved here in 1957 when I was 6) but never was alarmed about the rw politics until Jeb. It's been downhill since.

[BamaRefugee]

36. I grew up in Jacksonville Beach, 1952 to 1960, it was great

[Polybius]

21. Any polls on this year's Senate race with Katie Britt vs. Will Boyd?

I haven't seen any, but I know Britt is nuts.

[COL Mustard]

28. If Britt loses

I will owe you $1,000,000,000,000 dollars. I don't expect to have to pay.


PS If I do have to pay, expect it in Zimbabwean dollars!

[Polybius]

30. If Britt loses, I'll be so happy that I'll buy you a beer

Heck, you can even have a full 12-pack!

[COL Mustard]

31. All right!!! Now we're talking!!!

I like Guinness!!!

[Polybius]

32. Same!

I love stouts. Murphy's Irish Stout is another good one.

[Warpy]

24. That's how they own all them pointy headed collkege libruls up north

The south has been elexting absolutely the worst of the worst ever since Nixon played down to them in his southern stategy.

Think such luminaries as Jesse Helms, nothing to recommend him but a big mouth and an outlook that was 1000 years out of date.

[bringthePaine]

26. howzabout a list of all recuKKKchicken convicts of last 6 years?

[BumRushDaShow]

27. He was involved in J6 getting phone calls from 45 and Ghouliani

obviously on their speed dial.

Tommy Tuberville, senator from Alabama. (Reported; not in log)

Tuberville, newly elected to his position, committed to objecting to the submitted electoral votes before Jan. 6 and subsequently did so. He was also the target of multiple calls on Jan. 6 itself, including one from Trump early that afternoon. (Tuberville reportedly told Trump during the call that Pence was being evacuated from the Senate chamber.)

Later, Giuliani would try to reach Tuberville to encourage the senator to drag out the vote-counting process “until the end of tomorrow” so that other legislators could be persuaded to join the effort. Unfortunately, Giuliani accidentally left that message on the voice mail of Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).
