Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., told Newsmax Wednesday that the Democratic Party has become the “terrorist socialist party” — and he’s pointing to specific scandals to back it up.
Tuberville, who is running for governor of Alabama, cited recent controversies involving Maine senate candidate Graham Platner and New Jersey congressional nominee Adam Hamawy.
Hamawy has come under fire over his past connection to Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric convicted for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
“WHO REPRESENTS THE TRUE DEMOCRATS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT ACTUALLY LOVE THE COUNTRY? THEY HAVE NO REPRESENTATION ANYMORE HERE.”
“They got a Nazi and they got a terrorist in running in New Jersey, and they’ve got an atheist that’s running in in Texas,” Tuberville said on “Carl Higbie: Frontline.”
“The Democrats have gone so far left, nobody in the country recognizes them,” he added.
“Now, they’re trying to take the country over.”
The Alabama senator said he’s working to block that effort.
“We’re going to stand up,” Tuberville said. “Hopefully we can get the Save America Act.”
“SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET THEIR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND AND DO SOMETHING WHILE WE HAVE CONTROL, BECAUSE IF WE DON’T DO IT NOW, WE’LL NEVER HAVE CONTROL AGAIN.”
Tuberville said resistance within the party is frustrating progress.
“These people are trying to control the country with their one or two votes, because why? They do not respect Donald Trump,” Tuberville said.
“But it’s like pulling teeth up here to get anything done. It’s a crying shame.”
