https://www.al.com/politics/2023/05/tuberville-a-white-nationalist-is-a-trump-republican.html
After Alabama U.S. senator Tommy Tuberville caused an uproar by saying white supremacists in the military are just "Americans", when he tried to clean it up he took it to another level -
"I look at a white nationalist as a Trump Republican, MAGA person" he told a television interviewer, and then tried to walk THAT statement back .
"we should not be characterizing Trump supporters as white nationalists.”
Maybe he should stop giving interviews until he gets better at it. Much better.

Tuberville: A white nationalist is a Trump Republican
Sen. Tommy Tuberville defined “white nationalist” as a Trump Republican after being asked to clarify his comments defending white nationalists in the military.
“I look at a white nationalists as a Trump Republican,” Alabama’s senior senator told NBC News reporter Julie Tsirkin, according to a transcript Tsirkin posted of their interview Thursday on Twitter.
AL Sen Tuberville, who just now made an attempt to clarify the comments he made about white nationalists in the military being "Americans", asks me to define what a white nationalist is.

“That’s what we’re called all the time,” Tuberville continued, referring to how Democrats characterize such Republicans. “A MAGA person....”
Tuberville then appeared to walk back his definition.
Asked if he agrees with that characterization, Tuberville responded, “We agree that we should not be characterizing Trump supporters as white nationalists.”
Alabama’s senior senator drew criticism after he gave an interview to WBHM, the National Public Radio affiliate in Birmingham, where he was asked whether white nationalists should serve in the military.
“They call them that,” he said, referring to the Biden administration. “I call them Americans.”

I think he's earned the right to be a spokesman for the Trump campaign.
He sounds like a good orator, compared to other Trump'sters.
He should go back to coaching football.
If MAGA-Hats are in our military, who let them in?
That they've always been there is not an excuse...
