WASHINGTON – Incoming Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R- Ala., botched several basic historical facts during a recent interview — such as misidentifying the three branches of government.

Tuberville, the former Auburn football coach who won his Senate race on Nov. 3 by defeating incumbent Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, did an interview on Thursday with The Alabama Daily News after he attended orientation in D.C. for new senators.

He was asked whether he thought the GOP could utilize their potential majority in the Senate to pass legislation as Democrats will control the House of Representatives and the White House. This prompted Tuberville to answer he doesn't care "if you’re a Republican or Democrat” and that he's been given a mandate to help people.


“Our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three branches of government — wasn’t set up that way,” Tuberville continued, saying incorrectly: “You know, the House, the Senate, and the executive.”



Those are not the three branches of government. As laid out in the Constitution, the three branches of the federal government are: the legislative, which includes both the Senate and House; the executive, which includes the presidency, and the judicial, which includes the Supreme Court.

That wasn't the only historical flub in the interview.

Tuberville also misidentified what America fought against in World War II. When asked about the biggest takeaways from the election, Tuberville stated he was concerned that President-elect Joe Biden had promoted a vision that Tuberville claimed “leads more to a socialist type of government.”

“That’s concerning to me, that we’re to the point now where we’ve got almost half the country voting for something that this country wasn’t built on,” Tuberville said. “I tell people, my dad fought 76 years ago in Europe to free Europe of socialism.”


However, World War II was a global battle against fascism, and, in fact, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, known as the U.S.S.R. or Soviet Union, fought alongside the United States as part of the Allied powers.

Additionally, Biden is a mainstream, centrist Democrat and does not identify with socialism.

Tuberville also inaccurately said that former Vice President Al Gore, who was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2000, was called the president-elect for 30 days during the infamous legal battle over a recount in Florida.

Neither Gore nor Republican nominee George W. Bush were considered the president-elect during that process, as neither were determined to have clearly won enough votes to secure the presidency.

Tuberville also asserted that he plans to use his new Senate office to fundraise for the two Republican senators from Georgia who are now facing crucial runoff elections that will determine control of Senate.

Political fundraising out of a federal office building, and using official federal resources for campaign purposes, is barred by Senate ethics rules (Hatch Act).

He may know football but certainly doesn't know history, basic knowledge of the constitution, or Senate ethic rules. And he'll be a U.S. senator.

Sadly this rube will be easy fodder for K Street and the right wing spin machine. He does not appear capable of independent thought.

And you fellers invited this trash into our political system. Lol, he doesn't even know who our founding fathers or war heroes were.

I'll save you the pain of enduring way to much of seeing this trash, go to 25:39.

Bendsquick is in a panic, as are all of the loser trolls.

2 ignores with one shot, not a bad morning.

LOL, not that it matters Chuck made the same mistake, I'm pretty sure the people of Alabama know who they voted for and don't give a rat's ass what bentdick or any other leftists think about ti.

No matter what Senator Tuberville says or how he says it doesn't matter. He's a Republican conservative and the liberal dumocrats can kiss his and our azzes.

Tommy Tuberville has been a successful coach for 30 years.

Schumer has been a failed politico since 1974.

So much for our stupid,ignorant resident trolls failed attempt to illustrate the intellect of their most prominent Bolshevik.

LMAO.

Anyone that has coached in the SEC is far from a rube. He'll make an excellent senator and by far the most important part of his victory was removing Doug Jones from a seat he never should have gotten close to.

He's correct about his father fighting to free Europe from socialism. The Nazi ideology was National Socialism and their official name was the National Socialist German Workers' Party. It's pretty hard to argue that the U.S. wasn't fighting a socialist enemy in WWII when they proclaim themselves to be socialist and employ the worst practices of the ideology in words and deeds.

Meanwhile, democrats elect AOC and Maxine......

The fake media and democrats are always referring to the Nazis as the "far right," when in reality they are the "left," right in the middle of the Democrat Party and Fake Media Bolsheviks.

The most important thing about Tuberville is he knows how to vote. On the other hand, Collins, Mittens and Murkowski don't!

Fear the Thumb

PREZACTLY!!!

Their pictures should appear in the Dictionary under the Definition of Dumb K U N T S.

So the OP's thread about a successful football coach has blown up in his face with the illustration of his own professional politician and his ignorance of our form of government.LOL

See the who the OP and first responder on this thread are?

I find it interesting how long dormant members that have almost zero posts in the Hunters Campfire show up in an election year and troll insistently. A conspiracist would suspect they hack the user list for long unused login names and ask for new password to active the account.

These are ass lickers for the Party that brings you Hank Johnson and Corine Brown and alcoholic Nancy Pelosi, demented Old Joe and BBC sucking Kamala Harris.

The fact the Dem troll operatives have been alerted to attack Tuberville tells me that they have a sore ass over losing that Senate seat by 25 points, and don’t want that trend to continue. They want to throw [bleep] on Tuberville as quickly as possible to keep him off the Talk Show circuit.

Dems invented the tactic of cutting down new opposition talent before they find a following. They did it to Quale, Jindle, Rubio etc. hammering them for nothing but turn a blind eye to the likes of Joe Biden and his family corruption it dozens of misstatements he makes each week as dementia ravishes his brain. Let’s not even start with his hair sniffing it ass grabbing.

Their tactics have been exposed.

bendoverquick's knowledge of history would be embarrassing to most folks.

But, not to full on librats.

He's a number on the RIGHT side if nothing else!
