RELATED: Who are White nationalists and what do they want?įactually, it’s true that there are Americans who are White nationalists. “Well, they call them that,” Tuberville said back then of people who oppose White nationalists. In the White nationalism portion of the interview, Tuberville was being asked to explain comments he made to an Alabama radio station back in May, when he was asked if he thought White nationalists should be allowed to serve in the military. The Monday CNN interview was an incredible exchange, which began as an opportunity for Tuberville to explain his Pentagon obstruction as a protest of Biden administration abortion policy.
That separate, solo obstruction has left the US Marine Corps without a Senate-approved commandant for the first time in more than a century. His Tuesday cleanup notwithstanding, it’s worth taking a closer look at Tuberville’s full exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on her show, “The Source,” because it is a window into the thoughts and motivations of a US senator who is currently holding up promotions at the Pentagon for hundreds of senior leaders.
Tommy Tuberville, the Alabama Republican, does not consider himself to be a racist – which is an important place to start from since you’re about to hear quite a bit about his apparent defense of White nationalists, who he suggested Monday might not be racist either.īy Tuesday, Tuberville had backtracked, telling reporters on Capitol Hill – but off camera – that, indeed, “White nationalists are racists.”
