As left-wing media continues to misquote U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Auburn) speech made at former President Donald Trump’s rally last weekend, the senator has become the target of a prominent anti-conservative political organization.
In what has been described by far-left media outlets as “racist,” Tuberville suggested Democrats sought “reparation” for criminals.
“Some people say, ‘Well, they’re soft on crime.’ No. They’re not soft on crime. They’re pro-crime. They want crime,” Tuberville said at the rally. “They want crime because they want to take over what you’ve got. They want to control what you have. They want reparation because they think the people that do the crime are owed that. Bulls**t! They are not owed that.”
The Lincoln Project, which was co-founded by accused child predator John Weaver, tweeted a video Tuesday with a caption stating Tuberville’s remarks were “what fear-mongering looks like.”
This is what fear-mongering looks like. These comments from Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Tommy Tuberville would not have been out of place in 1930’s Germany.

The anti-Trump organization’s tweet also suggested Tuberville’s comments “would not have been out of place in 1930’s Germany,” referring to an era in which Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party rose to power in the European nation.
“Rabid racism is a core element of the MAGA GOP,” alleged the Lincoln Project’s tweet.
Watch:
Tuberville has spoken publicly on numerous occasions about his father, Charles Tuberville, and his military service in World War II. It was this generation of American warfighters, the senator previously stated, that ended “Hitler’s hopes for world domination.”
The elder Tuberville, who made D-Day landing in Normandy and helped liberate Paris from Nazi occupation, was a five-time Bronze Star recipient and held a Purple Heart in recognition of his valiant service in the U.S. Armed Forces.
