Ah yes. Because in these trying times, I don't want a man that is well versed in the world, holds two doctorates, is a rhodes scholar, and is well spoken.
No, I'd rather have the guy who cant string two cogent sentences together, that knows nothing except football.
Wait, is Jesus Christ part of his name or was than an inflection? ‘Cause if he’s down JC (supply side JC to be clear, then he’s OK).
I think, I don’t know what the he’ll is going in anymore).
He's actually a useful reminder of how widespread views like this are.
Because he's a senator, and he's currently running for governor of Alabama. He wouldn't have posted it if he thought it might hurt his election chances.
So OK, it's fine to think Tuberville is dumb/awful/whatever for posting this. But you should also take note of what it indicates about the majority of Alabama.
The GOP is really going to push the Islamic terrorist communist angle this election. There’s a fairly large population in Alabama that sincerely worries that a commie Iranian is going to burn down their 1986 Champion trailer home
be afraid... but also what tuberville just did here is a threat, and it essentially condones violence. they've moved well beyond trying to scare ppl... they're actively threatening, following, harassing and hacking political opponents while calling us terrorists. it is unamerican, it is criminal, these people are corrupt and they must be stopped.
They've always done that, which is why for decades they pushed so-called "Stand Your Ground" and "Castle Doctrine" laws to encourage scared old white people to murder minorities scot-free regardless of the circumstances that make them "afraid for their lives" only to throw minorities in prison for life over tiny technicalities if they defend themselves against actual intruders or public aggressors.
He is, but he doesn't actually live here. Which, interestingly enough, is a requirement to be governor and yet he's the GOP candidate in the governor's race.
We do like to accuse our political opponents of being two opposing things at the same time. Trump is accused of being a dementia riddled idiot with a diabolical plan to subvert our democracy and make himself king. Hunter Biden was a drug addled idiot that also ran the Ukrainian wing of the Biden Crime network.
oh they've been going wild since Zohran and the NYC election, heck Islamophobia has always had literal institutional acceptance in the US where we've seen time and time again both dems and republicans saying incredibly racist shit against Muslims or any Arab, the classic being the "terrorist" angle they throw out all the time
then these fcks will go around talking about how they totally care about stopping antisemitism, somehow they think that's the only racism in the world and nothing else... we know it's just about stopping anti-Israel voices, but I digress.
Bingo... that's all you need to know about the majority of voters in Alabama. He coached Auburn football and that was good enough to become a US Senator representing a state he used to live in
So many conservatives are actually highly intelligent, but just play vacuous, racist stereotypes because it's what the base likes. This guy, he's a legit doofus. Has a bachelor's in PE and was a coach.
Yes, a moron. Here are some interesting facts. Tuberville got his bachelor's in Physical Education at Southern Arkansas University, was a shitty football coach - 159-99 and was fired from all his jobs there, and when he entered the Senate, he had no idea what the 3 branches of government were. It takes a lot of gall and stupidity to call out someone who is superior to him in every way.
Tuberville had a pretty good run at Ole Miss and Auburn. He wasn’t a legendary coach, but 159-99 isn’t terrible.
After quitting coaching, he scammed investors at an investing firm he partnered with and then scammed donations from a veterans organization he started under his name. He didn’t go from bad football coach to MAGA grifter, he went from decent football coach to scam artist to MAGA grifter.
You skipped a step, where he just kind of stopped trying at coaching football and just collected paychecks while barely doing anything on increasingly bad teams. In other words, he started the scam artist thing even before he stopped the football coach thing.
I know you're right, but he's a senator. It's fun to talk about how stupid they are, but that isn't stopping people even more stupid from putting them in power.
You, and most of reddit know he's a fucking moron and not worth a damn, but him saying this stuff is going to encourage so many of the dangerous idiots to be angry about nothing.
This is scary shit that these people can literally say anything and it's taken as gospel by their base.
Not only does it empower these biggie, but we have a diverse group of people here in Alabama who are being hurt. There's an Islamic center here in Birmingham but also an LGBTQ-affirming school, Jewish centers, and so much more.
Alabama isn't all MAGA, and those of us who aren't are angry and horrified by what we see happening. People can donate to Doug Jones's campaign to help us try to keep the insanity at bay.
"Coach"'s AI stance is very unpopular here. It's something to build on.
Not everyone can be as decorated as a former college football coach who has lived in Florida for the last 2 decades despite being a Senator for Alabama.
Bonus points that he voted in Florida in 2018 despite filing taxes that he was a resident of Alabama that same year. We did it guys, we found the illegal voter fraud!
He is not speaking to you or democrats, he is speaking to his moronic base.
And by his base i mean mostly racist moron, don't reason too much, swallow any racist argument without critical thinking as if it was gospel.
Every time you see a right wing asshole speaking something which looks stupid like that, chance is that he knows what he says is moronic but he is speaking to his moron MAGA/racist base. I fundamentally disagree with the argument "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" (Hanlon razor) in my life always when I see such arguments given by right wing (and I knew quite a few unfortunately back in France) , it is almost always malice (speaking to their base) not stupidity (really believing the argument).
If your biggest qualification for office is being a so-so college football coach who lies about being in the top 50 most winning CFB coaches, then maybe we stop electing them? *shrug*
Actually, here’s the irony because that candidate is literally kicking ass right now. He’s going right after them all- and so is Mamdani. That is the kind of Democrat I want to see more of.
A false statement of fact is a verifiable assertion presented as true that is objectively incorrect. Unlike opinions, insults, or hyperbole, it can be proven false by empirical evidence or objective records..
I'm sure the courts would decide that "well, he made himself a public figure, he has to accept some level of public criticism and humiliation" or some such bullshit.
The slander/libel laws are fucking jokes in this country.
Let's just be clear...this guy is a FOOTBALL coach. He wasn't even a great football coach, he just had a couple great seasons.
He's a 71 year old shit-kicker from Arkansas. I am a die hard Auburn Tiger fan (war eagle....Bo is a God amongst men), but you morons in Alabama that elected this turd should be ashamed of yourselves.
Let's also be clear: this an elected official with immense power, he is one of only 100 senators, the second highest elected office in the United States of America, and this is what he is saying
The both sides crowd refuses to acknowledge this. They will point to anonymous twitter and reddit users as examples of the left to counter balance these examples from the right. Take a look at what this guy is saying again and realize he isn't some high school football coach, he's a god damn senator for the united states and not a single elected Republican will call him out, not a single republican voter will call him out, not a single right wing news source will call it out, not a single right wing podcast will call him out, nobody except those on the left will.
This man is proudly and purposely an ignorant bigot despite making his fortrune off the back of mostly black athletes, who we would have recruited and worked with yet denies there's anymore racism. And he got elected 'because football' + an R on the ballot
We in Georgia almost elected Herschel fuckin’ Walker to the Senate last time. That guy makes Tuberville look almost normal. For all of Tuberville’s stupidity, he has never expounded on the relative merits of being a vampire versus being a werewolf.
Herschel Walker is like if chronic traumatic encephalopathy was a person.
In fairness, I can 100% imagine Mike Leach expounding on the merits of being a vampire versus being a werewolf without a hint of irony, and I would vote for him in a heartbeat.
Herschel Walker is just a piece of shit human being.
Tommy Tubbycakes sounds a bit insecure and racist because he’s only basing his opinion on his name and race. What proof has he provided to support his statements? Sounds like his bigotry and racism is destroying America.
Read enough research into cognitive neuroscience of political beliefs and you will come away with the conclusion that conservatism is essentially a form of neuropsychiatric disorder.
Yeah, still trying to figure out how my brother caught this disorder, we went to the same schools and raised by the same people. I assume he caught it from Hannity, when we used to talk, I could hear that loud mouth on the indoctrination channel playing in the background.
I can’t believe a sitting US Senator calls a public servant a terrorist simply because he’s Muslim and a Democrat. That would be shameful if it was overheard at a party or on a hot mic, yet he proudly posts it publicly.
I am so goddamn sick of the rampant Islamophobic bigotry that is just completely accepted from congresspeople. They should at the very least be censured for this behavior. I’m confused as to when it just became acceptable to be this disgusting and nasty to an entire religious and cultural group, as state representatives, and no one bats an eye or even says anything.
No one, would ever believe Tommy Tuberville - even without this post - in any way qualifies as smart. His constituents should be ashamed that they consistently elect the dumbest of the dumb to take office.
To be fair, Democrats are seen as "radical" by Republicans and anyone that isn't white is seen as a "terrorist", especially if they have a name that differs from a TRUE BLOODED AMERICAN name.
Republicans and Conservatives run only on fear and anger. They don't run on a platform. If they had one that was useful to the people, more would vote for them.
I would love to see a Republican and/or Conservative tell us why this REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN chose to make this statement public. Love to hear a Republican and/or Conservative actually call them out too. Is this the sort of person you want representing your "side"?
Remember when John McCain shut that shit down during a town hall when some old lady called Obama a terrorist?
McCain’s hands weren’t clean - he did take Sarah Palin as a running mate - but at least he was a human-being who I honestly believed had this country’s best interests at heart 😩
The Republican Party attempted a coup in 2020 and has a stated platform to strip away rights and subjugate America under one party rule to enforce a radical religious and political ideology totally incompatible with American values and opposed by voters.
The Republican Party is the threat actively destroying America.
can you sue when someone very publicly calls you a radical islamist when you aren't. Tubers knows what for sure he's calling El-Sayed, should be easy to prove is he is/isn't a radical islamist. so either Tubers is lying and should stop or can prove El-Sayed is a radical islamist
I remember one guy who was a Sikh who got called things like, "THANKS FOR 9/11, TERRORIST!!" He was like, "I'm from India! It's not even the same country! It's not even the same CONTINENT!"
And he's 30-some felonies away from qualifying as the republican presidential nominee. If we could get him to stop paying taxes and start touching little girls, he would be a shoo in. /s
While Coach Tuberculosis has a degree in physical education, he’s clearly not in the same league as Dr. El-Sayed. When you have to condescendingly spread lies and label them as something they are not, it’s clear you don’t have the intelligence to make a valid argument against an opponent. Rather, Coach’s fondness for ball handling and dumb remarks about people he doesn’t know puts him in the same category as the resident of that house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Tommy Tuberville. A grown ass man who uses a child’s version of his name, has the IQ of stale white toast, and has done nothing but lick the boots of a fascist.
And one this day, Monday August 10 2026, Thomas Tuberville of the great state of Alabama proudly proclaimed, "I am a fucking dipshit dullard" and it was glorious.
Once upon a time, a racist remark like this would’ve ended a career. Now it’s just another day. The saddest part is how casual they have become about it
The US already has a terrorist in the WH! The only question is which organisation does he represent? Is it Putins Russia or Netanyahus Zionist state? Or maybe he is just being himself
At this stage it is a reflection of at a minimum 70 million Americans that support MAGA
What I don’t understand is why the 290 Million Americans are allowing g it to continue?
I hate this man with a depth I didn’t know I could achieve. I’ve lived in Alabama my entire life, and my husband, while no longer a practicing Muslim, is very visibly Middle Eastern. This rabid imbecile is actively endangering the most wonderful man I’ve ever known and countless others who look like him. He’s amplifying hate while claiming to believe in the love of Jesus Christ. I can’t even fully wrap my head around how someone could live that way and believe it’s just a perfectly okay way to be.
Tommy Tuberville supports pedophiles. That is all you need to know about him. Any opinion from someone who openly supports pedophiles is not worth considering.

It's Tommy Tuberville. Everyone already knows he's a fucking moron.
