Sounds like Tommy is asking for jail time.

    I’m tired of the misinformation and twisting of words.

    According to the article the closest Tuber came to a threat was making the comment “…there will be Hell to pay.” His only mention of Jan 6 was him saying that was his first day.

    If we’re going to call them out for their stupidity, let’s do it on what they actually say — not on hyperbole.

      After saying Jan 6 was his first day he said that’s what’s going to happen if the Democrats don’t change the law to require citizens to bring their passports or birth certificates to vote. His party will tell voters that the results are untrustworthy if they don’t add this overlay for the first time in US history. It was absolutely a threat. Pass our legislation or there is hell to pay.

        Just because he said January 6 does not mean he is threatening another insurrection. He never detailed what he meant by “hell to pay”. No one but him knows what he meant by that.

        Yet so many people want to jump to conclusions without any actual evidence. This is the crap that republicans do; we are better than that — we have to be, because republicans suck.

        Leave the bullshit rhetoric to them, and stick to the facts.

          The ‘that’s what’s going to happen’ connects the two thoughts.

          I full agree that a huge amount of the time folks simply can’t see past their feelings for someone and see through that filter, but I’m not seeing the distortion this time.

    Jackass holds up military promotions for over a year and still expects people to listen to him?

    Tommy Tuberville should make like the late terrorist, Ashlii Babit, and fuck right off.

    These kinds of things will ramp up as we get closer to the election. An entire constituency of the USA is 100% convinced that any loss must mean a stolen election. This is uncharted territory, even compared to 2020.

    Use this speech as a reason to question him if anything happens on Jan 6th. I don’t want him prosecuted unfairly, but I think a good scare is in order.

    Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) threatened that there would be another Jan. 6 riot if Democrats did not pass a Republican-backed bill that would make it harder to vote.

    Yeah, that sounds like Tuberville.
