PoliticoRepublican Sen. Tommy Tubervilles office on Wednesday clarified statements he made about white nationalists serving in the military.
Do you believe they should allow white nationalists in the military? the Alabama senator was asked during an interview on WBHM that was posted online on Monday. Well, they call them that. I call them Americans, Tuberville said.
On Wednesday, Tubervilles office clarified those remarks to a publication in his home state, telling AL.com that Tubervilles comment shows that he was being skeptical of the notion that there are white nationalists in the military, not that he believes they should be in the military, and that the senator believes members of the military are patriots.
During the radio interview, Tuberville, a member of the Senate Arms Services Committee, also decried lagging recruitment in the military, blaming Biden-administration policies.

He knows how to put POC in their place. It's a long and rich tradition in Alabama. We no longer ask the rhetorical question: "How on earth did this mollusk get elected?" We know. It's called "Alabama."
