White Supremacist Pedophile Politician's Contempt For The American Serviceman

Republican Senator Has No Problem With White Nationalists: “I Call Them 
Americans”
Tommy Tuberville is defending racists in the military.
 
Senator Tommy Tuberville doesn’t really see the difference between white 
nationalists and Americans.

The Republican senator said that white nationalists should be allowed in 
the U.S. military because blocking any ideological group from serving would 
weaken the institution.

During an interview Monday with the Alabama radio station WBHM, Tuberville 
was asked if he thought white nationalists should be allowed to serve in 
the military.

“They call them that,” he said, referring to the Biden administration. “I 
call them Americans.”

“We are losing in the military so fast,” he continued. “Our readiness in 
terms of recruitment. And why? I’ll tell you why, because the Democrats are 
attacking our military, saying we need to get out the white extremists, the 
white nationalists, people that don’t believe in our agenda.”

Tuberville also referred to the military as a “strong, hard-nosed, killing 
machine,” which is definitely how you want national leaders discussing 
their opinion of defense policy.

His office released a statement Wednesday saying that Tuberville meant he 
was “skeptical” that white nationalists were in the military, not that he 
thought they should be in the military. But the Alabama Republican is wrong 
there, too.

A month after the January 6 attack, Pentagon officials said in a report 
that white supremacist ideology had made significant inroads in the 
military. The report found that white supremacist groups would try to 
recruit active military personnel and veterans and group leaders would 
often try to enlist in order to get weapons and training. One Florida 
National Guard member co-founded a fascist group and said he was “100 
percent open” about being a neo-Nazi—and no one batted an eye.

As for military readiness issues, Tuberville might want to take a look in 
the mirror: He has blocked nearly 200 military promotions since March over 
his objection to the Defense Department’s abortion policy. Defense 
Secretary Lloyd Austin warned in a letter to Senator Elizabeth Warren last 
week that Tuberville’s delay “harms America’s national security” and poses 
a “clear risk” to the military’s readiness.

Tuberville’s apparent openness toward white supremacists makes sense when 
you think about his unwavering support for former President Donald Trump, 
who counted extremists Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller among his inner 
circle. Trump also infamously told the far-right Proud Boys to “stand back 
and stand by,” which prosecutors in the hundreds of January 6 lawsuits said 
the white nationalists interpreted as a call to action.

Tuberville’s support for Trump remains unflagging, despite the former 
leader’s ongoing legal woes. On Tuesday, Tuberville said that a jury 
finding Trump liable for sexual assault and defamation “makes me want to 
vote for him twice.”
