Sen. Tommy Tuberville Slammed for Saying 'the Enemy Is Inside the Gates' as He Ties Zohran Mamdani to 9/11 Attacks

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called Muslims "the enemy" in a social media post on Thursday, March 13, joining a growing list of Republicans who have made Islamophobic remarks amid recent tensions in the Middle East. Swift backlash for his comments followed.

Tuberville reposted photos on X that showed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — the city's first Muslim mayor — at City Hall hosting Iftar, the Ramadan fast-breaking meal, alongside a photo of the Twin Towers burning on Sept. 11, 2001. The original post was captioned, "Less than 25 years apart." Tuberville shared it to his page, adding the words, "The enemy is inside the gates."

Sens. Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Chuck Schumer of New York, both Democrats, were among those to condemn Tuberville over the racist post.

"No, Senator. Bigotry is the enemy inside," Warnock, a longtime Baptist pastor, replied on X. "It sickens the soul that carries it and corrupts the nation that embraces it. Brother, as my Christian faith and yours teaches, LOVE is the only way."

Tuberville's brand of Christianity believes in lighting the cross.

9. Where did he post it from?

After all he’s Florida’s third senator (we’re special enough to have 3 senators rather than two), yet he’s running for governor of Alabama.

10. Tuberville is the poster boy for why mediocre college sports coaches shouldn't

be elected to political office...their ego is bigger than their brain. (And I'll bet he was eager to have Black football players drafted to his team every year.)
