Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville appears to be living in Florida while sabotaging the military over their abortion policy. Why does Tuberville, whose wife is a real estate agent, hate the state he represents?

And why does Mr. Fancy Pants hate the Constitution? Because Senators are required under the Constitution to be "an inhabitant" of the state when elected.

The Washington Post reports:

Three weeks after his Wiregrass appearance, Tuberville sold, for nearly $1.1 million, the last properties that he owned in Alabama, according to real estate records. The properties, known as Tiger Farms LLC, are in Macon and Tallapoosa counties, on the outskirts of Auburn. That same month, he also sold one Florida condo for $850,000 and bought another for $825,000.

Tuberville's office says his primary residence is an Auburn house that records show is owned by his wife and son. But campaign finance reports and his signature on property documents indicate that his home is actually a $3 million, 4,000-square-foot beach house he has lived in for nearly two decades in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., located in the Florida Panhandle about 90 miles south of Dothan.

The Alabama sale in July was notarized by a person who lives in Santa Rosa Beach, indicating Tuberville was there on July 14. His wife, Suzanne Tuberville, a licensed real estate agent in Florida, has worked at a Santa Rosa Beach real estate firm since the start of this year; she does not have an Alabama real estate license.

The senator also signed in person a deed, notarized in Florida's Walton County, where Santa Rosa Beach is located, on June 30 — during a two-week period starting June 26 that was designated in the Senate as a "State Work Period," when lawmakers often return to their states to meet with constituents. Tuberville's office issued a news release saying the senator met with local officials on three days of that period, June 26-28, including in Dothan, but was silent on the rest of it.

Also, Tuberville's hissy fit over abortion rights went as far as to refuse to allow any of the more than 250 stalled military promotions to advance quickly. But it's Biden's fault somehow.

Alabama, you could have had Doug Jones again. He kicked the KKK's ass, but you went with a college football coach. You stupid fucks.
