SSen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Al., has been metaphorically summoned by the karma police after a clip of him falling down some airplane stairs calls to memory the many times he mocked President Biden for his own ambulatory accidents.
Tuberville's tumble took place on Wednesday while exiting the aircraft, at which point he appears to have lost his footing, causing him to slide down quite a distance, losing his grip on the luggage he'd been grasping in each hand as he made his way down.
As Newsweek points out in their coverage of this clip, Tuberville yucked it up with reporters back in July over Biden experiencing a similar difficulty, saying, "You watch Joe Biden over in Europe. I mean, I'm afraid he's going to fall down every time I turn on television." And it seems as though Biden's supporters took today's opportunity to draw some comparisons and offer some reminders.
"Queen Karma paid Tommy Tuberville a visit. Stay as long as you like, ma'am," left-wing blogger Brooklyn Dad tweeted.
"He's not leaving anything for the Saturday Night Live writers," commented another person in response to the widely circulated clip, which can be seen below.

(25,120 posts)His partner went to jail. Coach Tubs skated.

This is an astounding story, Sessions said. Based on the facts already uncovered, it is clear that Tommy Tuberville was one of two partners in a major hedge fund fraud scheme that bilked large sums of money from hardworking people, including Alabamians.

Can't believe he took the seat held by a good man, Sen. Doug Jones.

(20,056 posts)He disgusts me.
Fell backwards on my deck years ago trying to pull a chair backwards and lost my balance and my tailbone hurt for a short time. Then a couple years ago I fell when coming down stairs in my house (I was holding a small box) and missed the last step and fell forward. So happy I didnt break a bone since I have osteoporosis, but have taken medication for it. Think thats what saved me both times.

(2,076 posts)Are you saying that Tuberville also fell years ago, in addition to this recent fall? I could buy that.
But if you're saying that the video clip is years old, you are mistaken. It's new and recent. As in yesterday.

(6,515 posts)He might have fallen again, but the clip is fairly old. First, Miami Air ceased operations some years ago. Second, his hair in the clip is not grey. The clip is probably from when he was still coaching.

(2,076 posts)Apparently the clip is from 2014 (after looking at youtube comments). But it does appear that he's done it again. I wish there was video of the latest tumble! But for now this one is fun!!

But look! At least someone was holding his beer. Looks like two 24-packs. Had too many on the plane?

(8,452 posts)Hey Tubbs, you mocked President Biden for slipping on stairs and today you tumbled down stairs like a drunkard on a 3 day binge. Would you like to retract your mockery of the President? Or should we just retain your participation in the Hypocritical Shithead Club?
