The most hateful, anti-American quote of the year is here (and it’s only May). It came in response to the question: “Do you believe the military should enlist white nationalists?”
Here’s the awful answer: “Well, they call them that. I call them Americans.”
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) gave that dismissive view of white nationalists as simply Americans in an interview with a home-state radio station, WBHM.
When later asked to explain that poisonous description of his fellow Americans, Tuberville offered this justification: “I look at a white nationalist as a Trump Republican. That’s what we’re called all the time, a MAGA person.”
Is he defending Trump Republicans by proudly labeling them all racists?
Tuberville represents a Republican Party that nationwide is 85 percent white, according to Gallup polling.
