"We got them three branches of government: people, camera, TV..." -- Coach Ricky Tommy Tuberville

Well, he is elected to be a representation of his people. And let's just leave it at that.

Apparently the Alabama school system doesn’t teach government or US history.

Why, Alabama, why - you had Doug Jones, a decent, intelligent and remarkable man... - Why?

[Jeff-qltg]

Alabama didn’t elect the “Tuber” for his brains, they elected him for his compliance.

[pilsung]

To be fair, he belongs to a party who tried to install a king

[frankmaurer]

Ah, he's just a body for votes, when the GOP needs to push an agenda.

[cmt]

And he doesn't know what the voting rights act is either....he's incompetence is showing before he even has been sworn in!

I feel that if you want to run for government service, you need to be able to pass a basic civics test.

[Dotthel]

Damn! I am not from the South but I am tired of the dumbest Senators coming from the South, especially from Alabama and Mississippi!!

Most Americans don't know the difference between socialism and communism and 45 percent like authoritarianism.

FACT - world is moving towards "IDIOCRACY" the movie. It looks sooner than later. Barometer: US 2020 Election.

[bevroberts]

It's very disturbing that people such as this are federally elected officials with real power in their hands.

[MrDeadhead]

Well sorry Tuberville your Dad was fighting on the wrong side if he was trying to liberate Europe from 'socialism'.

[irmarfrank]

So embarrassing, shows his level of ignorance and incompetence. Shameful.

[donnadelgiorgio]

Why do we keep giving this person a pass. If you don't know the facts shut up. This is how we make a trump, people making excuses for him. These are grown men.

[davidj]

It’s a perfect example of representative government, he’s from Alabama.
