In reply to the discussion: Tuberville says he doesn't know if inner city teachers 'can read and write' [View all]Kid Berwyn
(25,073 posts)57. Tuberville is a crook.
From the New York Times via Cincinnati Enquirer:
Asked about the hedge fund venture on the campaign trail in February, Mr. Tuberville described himself as an investor like the rest of them, much as he had in media reports at the time of the accusations.
They sued me because I invested in it, and he used my name to get other people to put money in, he said. There was nothing ever implicated by anybody that Id done anything wrong. I felt bad that he used my name.
But a review of public court records shows that he had a broader role. While he was not picking stocks, or even a frequent presence in the office, Mr. Tuberville made introductions to potential investors, had business cards identifying himself as managing partner, and leased a BMW and got his health insurance through the company. Its offices in Auburn were filled with his coaching memorabilia. In 2010, he traveled to New York with Mr. Stroud to meet potential brokers for the fund, and was kept in the loop on decisions about hiring, according to email traffic.
In a statement, Mr. Tubervilles lawyer and campaign chairman, Stan McDonald, said his clients involvement in the company was a big mistake, and hes paid for it.
Coach Tuberville was as surprised as anyone to learn Stroud had lost all the money, including Coachs. He never received a dime; it was a dead loss for him and his family, Mr. McDonald said. The Lord humbles us on many occasions, and this was such a moment for Coach.

Whats worse, Tuberville is a NAZI. Thankfully, a stupid NAZI.

OP
I taught in the inner city for more than 13 years. I think I can read and write. Is that correct?

He's all over the place. You'd think a US senator would be able to focus on one topic.

To be fair to Tuberville, it's now just him. "Inner City" is code to all the MAGAts.
