Tommy Tuberville Says The Quiet Part Out Loud At Nevada Trump Rally

By Heather — October 9, 2022

Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala), who is right up there with Marsha Blackburn in a contest for dumbest member of the United States Senate, said the quiet part out loud during a Trump rally in Minden, Nevada this Saturday. These guys quit trying to be subtle a long time ago:

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Saturday said Democrats are in favor of “reparations” because they are “pro-crime.”

Tuberville, R-Ala., made the comments while at a rally held by former President Donald Trump in Nevada.

“They want reparations because they think the people who do the crime are owed that,” Tuberville said as the crowd cheered behind him. “Bullshit!” he added. [...]

During the rally, Tuberville also said the U.S. cannot afford food stamps and “people need to go back to work.”

Here's some of the appropriate response to Tuberville's remarks on Twitter:

trumpism isn't politics. It’s a long-standing violence-and-intimidation generation machine. It’s racism, fascism, and lies combined to further fracture social divisions and deteriorate societal stress points. From Central Park 5 to the Wall to Floyd and the Big Lie/Jan 6 attack

They have always walked among us. The only thing that has changed is the year and a president that supported and encouraged their hate and rage. It is a sad reflection of half of our countries core values. https://t.co/DCpxkdSE2x

This is a modern day klan rally. The racism ain't even coded anymore.

So is AL proud that their senator is saying the quiet part out loud? He is just dripping with hate & making people "others' so it is us against them. We are supposed to unite with these people? @SenTuberville are proud of yourself? #VoteThemAllOut2022 #VoteBlueForSoManyReasons pic.twitter.com/GFbwasnjGy

How many times do Republicans have to show that they hate Black People before everyone starts to get it?

Tuberville's
White Supremacist tropes and replacement theory rhetoric is dangerous.

Grendron, the Buffalo shooting suspect, had one of many racist writings on the stock of his assault rifle, which included the phrase “Here’s your reparations!”https://t.co/bwtskuAYYb

Straight up, unadulterated racism.
And the crowd goes crazy.
Republicans aren’t hiding a damn thing anymore.
This is who they are.

Tuberville has to be pretty worried about the possibility of Walker winning and stealing his title of dumbest senator.
