Trump said immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America. Tommy Tuberville thinks the former president is too soft

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville expressed his disappointment on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s comments accusing migrants of “poisoning the blood of our country” weren’t even more xenophobic.

During a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday, Trump told a crowd of supporters that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country … That’s what they’ve done. They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world — not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country, from Africa, from Asia — all over the world. They’re pouring into our country.”

While President Joe Biden’s campaign pointed out similarities between Trump’s comments and the writings of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, Republicans were quick to excuse the screed. Tuberville took things a step further by complaining to reporters that Trump’s comments weren’t harsh enough.

      The stupidest man in congress.

      At least now that Gohmert is gone.

      And I appreciate you specifying that he’s the stupidest “man” in Congress, because Bobo is truly a special kind of stupid.

        I actually meant the senate anyway. There is a lot of competition if you include the house.

        Gohmert was such a treasure. I mean, he absolutely wasn’t, but still.

          Remember that time they put a mirror on his desk so that he’d peck at that instead of interrupting a hearing by landing on the chairman’s head?

    Sorry, Tommy. You’re not charismatic enough to wear Trump’s crown, and this thinly veiled attempt to save face with your supporters after you lost your game of chicken with the military isn’t fooling anyone.

    ETA: I do hope this is the beginning of a schism that casts doubt on how “pure” Trump is to be a part of the fascist push.

    To all the people saying how stupid Tuberville is: have you considered that maybe he’s more evil than he is stupid?

    Okay, he’s not a funny redneck clown. He’s definitely an insurrectionist weakening the military from protecting the constitution and the people.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville expressed his disappointment on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s comments accusing migrants of “poisoning the blood of our country” weren’t even more xenophobic.

    While President Joe Biden’s campaign pointed out similarities between Trump’s comments and the writings of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, Republicans were quick to excuse the screed.

    Trump himself has promised a harsh crackdown on immigrants should he retake the presidency in 2024, one that includes mass deportations and a network of migrant detainment camps.

    In October of last year, Tuberville drew widespread criticism after delivering a racist, anti-Black screed during a Trump rally in Nevada.

    In November, the Alabama senator claimed that the Biden administration’s border policies would result in “a 9/11 attack every few weeks if we don’t watch it.”

    “I call them Americans.” During the same interview, Tuberville accused the Biden administration of “destroying” the U.S. military by working to remove individuals affiliated with extremist movements from the armed services.

    Normally I’d say he’s being a traffic cone of a human being impeding progress. However in this case they’re more like human traffic spikes…
