During a recent appearance on Mobil, Alabama radio show 106.5’s “The Jeff Poor Show,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) warned of the direction the United States is heading if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the upcoming election. According to Tuberville, a Harris victory would further the interests of the “deep state” and ultimately lead to socialism.
The senator claimed the true power in Washington lies in the hands of people operating behind the scenes, unknown to the general public. “It’s the deep state. I’m a football coach, Jeff, you know that. I’ve been up there four years, though, and I can figure it out pretty quick with the problems we got. And I’ve seen — we got a number of people running our country right now that people don’t know their names,” he said.
He urged Americans that its time to “wake up,” adding, “And you can’t continue the direction we’re going towards socialism and expect to have the same country that we’ve had in the last 248 years. And they want to change the landscape of how we do things, and they want total power over what we’re doing. They want to change the Supreme Court. They want to do all these things, get away from the Constitution. And folks, we can’t do that. We better wake up and smell the roses.”
Citing Trump’s recent momentum in the polls after Vice President Harris’ initial enthusiasm has died down, Tuberville suggested that the former president would draw votes from Democrats who realize the dire circumstances the country is faced with. However he lamented that many liberal voters would vote Democrat regardless of who ran.
“Now, I will say this, she had a big run in August and all the way through their convention. But in the last week and a half, President Trump, he’s probably got a three- or four-point lead. You got a lot of people who are going to vote Democrat, no matter who they run, they could run Mickey Mouse because they’re uneducated, and they just believe in voting that way. But I think you’re going to have a lot of Democrats saying, ‘Hey, we can’t do this. We cannot continue to put our kids in harm’s way in this deficit, you know, open borders,’” he said.
Tuberville highlighted various issues in the United States, emphasizing, “We got wars getting ready to start. We couldn’t fight a war. Our military right now is not prepared to fight one war, much less three on the horizon. And then, of course, I always get back to one thing about our country is education. I feel bad for our inner-city kids.
He continued, “They’re just getting hammered by these teachers unions that do not want to teach kids reading and writing and math. They want to indoctrinate them in their social justice, and I’m telling you, we had better watch what we’re doing, and people better wake up and understand this is not about Democrat-Republican. This is about patriots and socialists. And, you know, I’ve been in Central America a couple of times in the last few weeks and been down to Columbia and Panama and some of these places that they’re all going, ‘What are y’all doing in America? You do not want what we have here.’ And I just hope we wake up in time to understand that.”
