Yellowhammer Times

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) appeared on Newsmax’s Chris Salcedo Show to discuss recent claims about the FBI and its handling of investigations involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. During the interview, Tuberville commented on a report by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that alleges the FBI covered up details regarding Clinton’s mishandling of classified information.

Salcedo questioned Tuberville about his party’s efforts toward accountability in light of the report. Tuberville responded, “Well, thanks for having me on, Chris. What a colossal cover up this has been. I got here right after Joe Biden took office, and it has been a disaster of […] most Republicans watching this go down. It is a huge cover up.

They’ve tried to push a narrative that, basically, they wanna change our country [into] something that it’s not. They wanted to take all the ability of us as Republicans, as Americans, to try to keep our country going in the right direction. But the mainstream media, the Democrats, and a few Republicans have pushed this narrative of ‘let’s do it the right way. Let’s make sure we’re doing the right thing.’ It has been something that I’ve been shocked at since I’ve been here. And now we’re finally seeing things start to leak out, the truth of really what happened.

The American people are going to find out. It is going to be fun up here to watch all this start taking a narrative, a true narrative, of what really happened of the Democrats trying to change this country into a socialist-communist country for the last four years. These people need to lawyer up, and they need to find out what it’s really like to be under the gun. Putting their hand up, testifying in front of people all over this country because it’s gonna be much-watched as we look at all this narrative being brought forward.”

The conversation also turned toward delays in Senate confirmations for U.S. Attorney positions and how these might affect prosecutorial action against individuals accused of wrongdoing.

Tuberville addressed these delays: “Well, we’ve talked about that. We’re trying to catch up. The problem, Chris, is the Democrats are playing four corners of basketball here. Slow play. They don’t get back anytime.

It’s a lot of fundamental errors that have happened, not just from here in the Senate, but also the White House. We have to have some firepower. We have to be able to fight back. But at the end of the day, we’re gonna get this done, even if we have to stay up here weekends through August. The Democrats don’t think that we’ll stay up here and work. Guess what? We’ll stay up here and work. We’ll have enough people up here to get a quorum to make sure that we push the agenda. And if they don’t wanna take a vacation, we don’t have to take one.”

During another segment addressing law enforcement issues and recent crimes allegedly involving undocumented immigrants—including an incident where an off-duty CBP officer was shot—Tuberville stated: “This is coming from somebody that’s never had a job, Joe Biden’s son. He’s lived off his dad for many, many years. And so whatever you get from him, you can take [with] a grain of salt. Again, but he’s coming back even at his Democrat team, the members that have actually pushed everything towards the Republicans. But 800% surge of assault on our law enforcement officers in this country. Our justice system, Chris, is in shambles.

Judges taking people that are arrested, letting them go in the front door, go out the back door. That is stopping as we speak, but we have to continue to push that. Again, the Democrats pushed a lot of these judges out in the last few years. They’re overwhelmed all over the country of being very lax on crime. But if we don’t take our neighborhoods back and our streets back, we do not have a country […] but we’ve gotta protect our law enforcement people. They get up every day ICE Border Patrol They get up every day put a badge on a gun on their side and not knowing whether they’re gonna come back or not.

President Trump gave them authority and they need to take that authority That [if they’re] shot at they need to shoot back We need to take advantage of what’s going on right now and make sure we take our streets back because the Democrats […] could[n’t] care less about that They want their voters to vote for them that’s the voters for Democratic Party These people are breaking all these laws all over country.” […]
