At least good ole Tommy Tuberville got his chance to prove he’s a bigger chuckle fuck:
“You brought to light the vaccines over the last couple years,” Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said. “I’ve had my first granddaughter here in a couple of weeks and my son and his wife have done their research about vaccines, and she’s not going to be a pin cushion. We’re not going to allow that to happen. But you brought that up… I appreciate you doing that.”
She’s not going to be a pin cushion, she’s going to be a petri dish.
Possible future headline:
“Senator Tuberville’s granddaughter dies of preventable Whooping Cough infection from lack of vaccination”
“Tuberville blames Democrats.”
1/2 a pack of Kools says the kid gets whooping cough and they blame sugar.
Tommy Tuberville never gives up a chance to be the stupidest man in the Senate (and that is saying something).
He also demands his fellow Senators call him “Coach.” And they agree to it!
Pretty sure Hastert liked to be called coach while he was in Congress too. Quite the legacy for Tommy to live up to
I like the grilling that Congresspeople give these candidates, part of a healthy vetting process. But if they are going to grill them and then just confirm them anyway what’s the point?
The people asking the hard questions aren’t the same ones who are going to vote to approve him.
Literally every part of this article is infuriating.
