Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville was referring to Mamdani’s swearing-in on a Quran. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has documented a history of anti-Muslim statements from him.
Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville from Alabama posted on social media: “The enemy is inside the gates” upon learning that Zohran Mamdani became the first mayor of New York City to be sworn in using a Quran.
The Quran is the primary religious text of Islam, akin to the Christian Bible. Mamdani is the first Muslim mayor of New York, the nation’s largest city.
Tuberville, a conservative football coach-turned-politician, has a history of making anti-Muslim statements, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
Oh their inside alright… right there in congress.
GOP senator loves the smell of his own brand so much he huffs the odor of his farts.
Another pedophile giving an opinion no one asked for.
When your voter base only likes you cause you are just as shitty a human being as they are, ouch.
These people are traitors.
He was standing in front of the mirror when he said it.
He’s right… but wrong person…his dumbass is the enemy of the people
Oh is the stupid piece of shit lil tommy tooberville speaking? Hey look, the more he opens his mouth, the more shit falls out of it! look! Wow! What a completely unhinged fucking moron. I weep for our future.
Let’s face it, the enemy is, in fact inside the gates. It’s painted orange, and it’s shitting its pants whilst sitting in the whitehouse fantasizing about little girls (when not in a dementia fever dream).
His entire state has less people than NYC.
fewer
You are correct, but I’m keeping the colloquialism.
So many republicans are smart people pretending to be folksy morons. Tuberville is the genuine article.
Apart from this Alabama douche being an asshole, the concept of swearing on a book of fables needs to go away.
But, it’s always funny to me when Christians and Muslims fight over their religions, it’s like two 3 year olds arguing which power ranger is more powerful…
“My dad could beat up his dad”
- kid with the same shitty dad who neither have met
Tuberville is such a stereotypical redneck moron… Just looking into his eyes makes you feel like you’re looking at a 15W light bulb in an empty fridge.
He’s not just a moron with no relevant education, he’s also an actively evil racist who defrauded investors for millions, refused to do his job in the senate, uses the Tuberville foundation to laundry money and bribes, backed the Trump insurrection attempt, voted against same sex marriage legislation in 2022, and sponsors anti trans legislation.
He’s the human equivalent of a ham and mayonnaise sandwich in a kkk hood.
If Tuberville is against it, there’s a near 100% change this is good for average working people and bad for billionares.
If Tuberville said it, and it’s not about football, there is a 100% chance it is complete blithering.
Why do we talk about Alabama like it’s a serious place?
Alabama is rated at the top for businesses to move in, because they openly fuck over their citizens. They’re rated at the bottom 5 for quality of life and healthcare. 1 in 5 kids in Alabama live in poverty. They have the highest in infant mortality rate, higher than most countries.
Also high crime areas. Not to mention they continue to cut the budget for their environmental funding.
Alabama is pretty much a pro-business, anti-life state.
They are very proud but objectively…
Most trailer trash are very proud.
If he keeps to his Oath, he can swear on whatever book he wants.
Maybe that is why US politicians lie so much, the bible is the problem /s
Personally if I ever need to take an oath, I am doing it on a copy of the 7 tenets of the Satanic Temple.
That or Small Gods by Terry Pratchett.
If I’m ever sworn in to something, I want it to be on a VHS recorded copy of the “Drumhead” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. If that isn’t available, “Measure of a Man” is also acceptable.
Why VHS?
Because it feels right.
Fair enough.
When we swore an oath to protect The Constitution upon enlistment in the military, we didn’t use anything. Probably a good idea since I doubt that every MEPS branch wants to have several hundred holy books on hand, JIC.
