“People in our caucus… to me, they’re not really taking this as serious as we should,” Tuberville said. “American people need to wake up. This is a war; this is a war on our Constitutional rights, our constitutional republic. This is not as much about Donald Trump as it is about the people in this country.”

Tuberville also claimed that Democrats were “anti”-American, insisting that the liberal party was looking to strip citizens of their privacy and censorship rights while conveniently forgetting that it was Republican leadership who pushed through the reauthorization of a domestic spy program in April and who are continuing to press for literary censorship in majority conservative states such as Florida.

    What’s the issue they have with this verdict? It was handed down by a jury of 12 of his peers. One of them was even a follower of his on Truth social. Unanimous on all 34 counts. So again I ask, what is the issue?

      I read that the “Truth Social” juror actually just read posts on Twitter/X where he saw reposts about what he said on TS… and that he wasn’t actually a follower on that platform. Could be wrong, but thought I should point that out.

      But yes, what problem do they have on the verdict? Either he and others of his ilk are lying or they really believe in conspiracies.
