Thursday during an appearance on “Alabama’s Morning News with JT” on Birmingham’s News Radio 105.5 WERC, former Auburn head football coach Tommy Tuberville, a candidate for Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat up in 2020, spoke about the turmoil surrounding President Donald Trump and the threat of impeachment.

Tuberville suggested Trump was facing backlash from Washington, D.C. because he was perceived to be a threat to “their little game.”

“[W]e’re embarrassed for our country,” he said. “We’ve elected probably the best president of our time. They know that – the left knows that, and even some of the right now, they recognize what he is doing. He’s making changing. He’s disrupting their little game up there in Washington, D.C., and they cannot stand it.”

“He’s the only thing standing between socialism and this country,” Tuberville continued. “Donald Trump – he’s like an offensive line. He’s trying to knock them out, keep them out of the backfield. Man, they just keep coming, and they keep coming. They make stuff, and they lie.”
