Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) passed up the chance Monday to condemn white nationalism, instead claiming that it is merely one’s “opinion” that white nationalists are racist.
Tuberville insisted that he is “totally against any type of racism,” offering up his career as a football coach—at one point at Auburn University—as proof.“The thing about being a ‘white nationalist’—it’s just a cover word for the Democrats now where they can use it to try to make people mad across the country. Identity politics: I’m totally against that,” Tuberville complained.
When Collins responded by describing such a person as one “who believes that the white race is superior to other races,” Tuberville blurted out: “Well, that’s some people’s opinion.” Later in the interview, Tuberville seemed to suggest that he believes that white nationalists are simply white people.
