Senator Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., has come under fire for his comments on white nationalism during an interview on CNN’s “The Source” with host Kaitlan Collins. During the interview, Tuberville repeatedly insisted that white nationalism is not a form of racism, saying that it is simply “some people’s opinion.”
The controversy began when Tuberville made remarks in a radio interview in May, suggesting that white nationalists should not be barred from serving in the military. Collins pressed Tuberville on whether he believes white nationalists should be able to serve in the U.S. military.
In response, Tuberville said, “A white nationalist is someone who believes that the white race is superior […] If people think that a white nationalist is racist, I agree with that.”
The comments have sparked outrage from many, who argue that Tuberville’s comments are a form of racism and that white nationalism is inherently racist. Critics have also argued that Tuberville’s comments are dangerous and could lead to further division in the country.
Tuberville has yet to respond to the criticism, but his comments have been widely condemned by both Democrats and Republicans. It remains to be seen how Tuberville will respond to the criticism and if he will clarify his comments.
