Charle Tuberville, the brother of Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama, came out recently to publicly denounce the "vile" hatred that his brother has been spewing. Charles called out his brother for making racially charged statements and for defending white nationalism in the military, wanting the public to know that he should not be lumped in with the racism coming from another member of his family.

Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville from the state of Alabama was recently called out by his own brother Charles Tuberville on Facebook, because Charles wanted everybody in Alabama and apparently across the country to know that he does not share his brother's racist views of the United States. Here is what Charles Tuberville, the good tuberville, we'll just call 'em that from now on. Here's what the good tuberville had to say on Facebook. I'll try and make this brief. As some of you know, my brother Tommy Tuberville, is the senior US Senator from the state of Alabama elected in 2021. Due to recent statements by him promoting racial stereotypes, white nationalism, and other various controversial topics, I feel compelled to distance myself from his ignorant, hateful rants. What I'm trying to say is that I do not agree with any of the vile rhetoric coming out of his mouth. Please don't confuse my brother with me.

Thanks Charles Tuberville, or again, the good tuberville. Well, what exactly has Tommy Tuberville the apparently senior Republican senator from Alabama who's only been in office for two years, what has he been doing recently that is causing his own brother to say, Hey, I don't share the hateful, vile views of my brother? Well, for starters, just about a week or so ago, Senator Tuberville was asked about white nationalism and white nationalists in the United States military, which according to the military is a growing problem. We have a very real problem of extremist racist extremists enlisting in the United States military. But Senator Tuberville said, well, they call them that. I call them Americans, good old-fashioned, patriotic Americans who happen to be racist, right? But hey, they're still Americans and we still love them. No, you don't have to love white nationalists. By the way, you do not have to love racists.

You simply don't. I mean, you don't have to stand up for them either. Tommy, you could have said Yes, it's a problem. Extremism is a problem, and we'll look into it. I'm a senator. I, I I can look into this. Hey, I've got a job now that's not coaching football, which I wasn't very good at to begin with it, but, uh, yeah, we can look into that. Thank you for your question. That's how you should have responded. But instead you said, well, I just call them Americans get old American patriots. So what if they hate the black folk and the Hispanic folk? Right? No, no. That actually is a major, major problem, Tommy. A problem that you as a senator should be addressing instead of making excuses for Tuberville has also suggested

That the reason Democrats favor reparations for African Americans is of course, because Democrats are soft on crime, which by implication shows us that Tommy Tuberville thinks pretty much all crime is committed by black people, which of course is statistically not true, but that is apparently what Tuberville believes the bad tuberville, not the good tuberville. And of course, most recently, while speaking with Donald Trump Jr. On his podcast, Tommy Tuberville said this, the Covid really brought it out how bad our schools are and how bad our teachers are in the inner city. Most of them in the inner city. I I don't know how they got degrees, to be honest with you. I don't know whether they can read and write. Now, some of y'all might not be happy that I'm using that accent, but that actually is what Senator Tuberville sounds like. And honestly, being somebody who is born and raised in the American South, it's okay for me to use that accent, especially when I'm poking fun at a clearly blatant racist like Tommy Tuberville saying that inner city teachers don't even know how to read and write.

Why don't you just say what you think of Tommy? Why don't you to say black people can't read? That's what you wanna say, Senator Tuberville, isn't it? That's why your own brother, your own family had to come out and say, this guy sucks. Please do not associate me with him.
