  1. Gee. Maybe if you nominated actual qualified people instead of DEI woke activists, you'd have better luck.

  2. At least one politician has common sense. Keep it up Tommy

  3. The guy is self serving at best, he has NEVER served in the military, everything he does is for himself. He has a degree in physical education but has always been a football coach and nothing more. Wonder how the ALNG guys that voted for him feel now.

  4. Ban women from the military, problem solved. Military should be single men, not dads and grandfathers, gays or women. Single men age 18 to 40.

  5. Goes to show you how nutcase repuplikkkans think! Dangerous people!

  6. These people have done more for this country than Tuberville ever will. I would think he would show more respect.

  7. Because it's far more important to satisfy your Evangelical base than provide a strong military defense for this country.

  8. He didn't mispoke he knew what he was saying and he said it. He told you who he is believal he's racist

  9. Crane will be an issue for the GOP he probably started on StormFront and 4chan

  10. Your not murdering babies you psychos.

  11. And he supports white nationalists too. The guy is an absolute joke.

  12. Don't like something?
    Just say it didn't happen!
    Don't want things to be what they are?
    Just kick and scream and throw a tantrum.
    The Republican party is the place for you!

  13. How can one man holdup such. Our government is truely broken by the reputican party.

  14. Good. Someone needs to stand against this evil the military is doing.

  15. This man must be a Russian sympathizer!

  16. Another GOP A-hole! We all remember the call “tommy” from Drump

  17. Like I said before let military leaders handle the military. If you did have the backbone to serve you shouldn’t have the right to say anything concerning the military. Everybody wants to be patriotic until it’s time to be patriotic.

  18. He is a traitor to the US.

  19. Indicative of the real terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country, they're right in your backyard and holding office.
    Your oppression is their profession

  20. Russian coward lock the tratior up.

  21. These rich old people in power from business and law are beholden to special interest groups and are not to be trusted. Few if any are operating on their own true values and most are completely self-serving and unregulated by we the people.

  22. Tommy Tuberville is threatening our military heroes and our national security.

    He is a racist and traitor to our country.
    Republican party is a cult worshipping Trump.
    What happen to the party of working Americans?

  23. If a military can refuse a FDA approved vaccine it has become WOKE!

  24. Veterans groups need to make their voice heard…..our country is larger than alabama…..

  25. I disagree with the military going ooutside of the natural course of life

  26. Republicans in Congress getting done every day what Russia and Putin couldn't.

  27. Republicans want a weak military its plays well for putin, just ask trump
