Tom Tuberville is not a very bright man.
"I heard some things ... about race & things that he wanted to mix into the military ...Our military is not an equal-opportunity employer ... We're not looking for different groups .. We don't want to single-handedly destroy our military from within..."
1. The military literally is an equal-opportunity employer. Literally.
2. If "not looking for diverse groups" you're looking based on race, so not merit.
3. Clear he has no clue how racist this sounds.
@futurebird Like so many conservatives, he's not just evil but also desperately stupid.
Whatever some generals said about diversity that got him so upset there's zero chance he understood any of it. He just heard words like "diversity" and started freaking out.
Some republicans play the part, they still have racist ideas, but nothing this simple minded. But they might play it up for the base.
I think he's so dim this stuff really scared him. How could someone with so little experience have so much power?

Tuberville is a sportsball coach. That's all the idiot is.
@drakenblackknight I have known smarter sportsball coaches than that.
@riley @futurebird @Gustodon
Too bad I can't say the same.
@futurebird The GOP has a snake eating it's tail problem. They've bated the racists and the anti-intellectuals so long that it's become a kind of death spiral where only the craziest and most extreme can get past their own primaries.
