However, Senator Tuberville commented on the comments made at the Nevada rally

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (WBRC) – Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville issued a statement in response to his recent remarks at a Nevada rally on Saturday, October 8th.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., accused Democrats of intentionally charging him with a crime as a way to extract compensation for making racially charged remarks.

In his response, Tuberville said he was concerned with the issue of crime, not race. The full statement is as follows:

“The issue is crime, not race, but the liberal media is intent on helping Democrats stay in power,” Tuberville said through a spokesman. “Crime has been on the rise across the country under Democrats and the “Bring back the police,” and I noted the frustration felt by many Americans when I spoke last weekend.”

“Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and rioters have caused more than $2 billion in damage to our cities since 2020. Illegal immigrants and drugs are crossing our southern border in record numbers. Leading prosecutors across the country are refusing to enforce laws that personally affect them. they don’t agree, they refuse, and our communities are suffering. Even Alabama Democrats want to satisfy the angry demands of the murderers and rapists currently on strike in the state’s prisons. Through their actions and policies, Democrats prioritize criminals over victims.

“As a coach, developing young people of character has been one of my top priorities. As a senator, I want to ensure that we create policies at the national level that promote values ​​such as integrity and accountability. I will continue to fight for safe communities and accountability for criminals. Americans should not live in fear.”
