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.
Can’t believe that my senator is this fucking stupid. A walking stereotype. Hopefully he loses the race for governor. If he wins, he might even manage to be worse than Ivey.
Ive never lived in Alabama, but as a woman in the military who was around for the damage he did weaponizing a pro-life rhetoric, I’m so sorry for you.
I really dont believe he’s dumb. I believe he’s straight up evil and thats so much worse. I also hope he doesnt win governorship of Alabama. Good luck out there my friend!
Yeah. Pretty sure a decent chunk of the reason he won was because of his record as a fucking college football coach. Not sure how that was supposed to transfer over to skill in politics, but it’s what the people wanted. Alabama is pretty backwards in most ways. He does seem rather evil, but he also seems rather unintelligent, don’t think he’s ever come up with his own talking point or dogwhistle.
Heyyy, a fellow Alabamian.
Yeah we’re looking to get out before the governor race starts. Tuberville is somehow worse than grandma.
Best of luck. Shame I won’t be able to. Hoping to leave the country soon enough.
If I may ask, whereabout are you looking to go?
We were originally looking to leave the country, but the housing crisis in Canada is atrocious and the UK is TERF island. Now we’re looking at Colorado due to their governor really sticking it to Trump. Though I am worried he may be ousted next year…
Possibly Ireland or New Zealand. Haven’t looked into it too much to be honest. Anywhere where people speak English and I probably won’t be shot or bothering any of the people that already live there. Australia is probably half decent in some places. I would definitely avoid the UK though, they’re almost as bad as the US in a lot of ways.
I can definitely believe a senator from Alabama is this stupid.
