Tommy Tuberville on Principles & Values

 

 


End political correctness: start hurting people's feelings

He is doing this for the his family and others, and will give any salary to Alabama veterans. "I'm not going to be politically correct. I'm tired of that, because we're giving our country away, folks," he said. "Somebody will do something, say something, and we're afraid to say something back. There's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't have your feelings hurt. We need to start hurting people's feelings," including those coming after the nation.

Fight any attempt to discredit President Trump

If I was in U.S. Senate today, I would be calling for a full and thorough investigation into the now-disproved Russian collusion probe of the 2016 elections. I believe that this witch-hunt was a political stunt to try and call into question President Trump's legitimacy. I will stand with President Trump and fight any attempt to discredit his Presidency.

First duty of government is to protect individual liberty

I am running for the United States Senate because I believe liberals in Washington are out-of-control. I believe the first duty of government is to protect our individual liberty. I will be a leader in Washington fighting for smaller government, less taxes, and our national sovereignty. I am running to defend the Constitution, and I understand that the freedoms we enjoy must be protected and preserved for future generations.

We've got to put Jesus and God before everything else

"[W]e've got to put Jesus and God before everything else. And if we don't do that we're going to be brought down to our knees again," he said."I think God brought [Trump] to us, and gave us the opportunity to have somebody just take the gloves off, start swinging, try to run these people back in their holes," he said. "I want to go to Washington to help him."

Oppose certification of the 2020 Presidential election.

Tuberville voted YEA blocking certification of the Electoral vote

Explanation of 1/6/21 Electoral Certification, by Emily Brooks, Washington Examiner:Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Paul Gosar led an objection to counting Electoral College votes from the state of Arizona, the first formal objection to state results in a series of moves that will delay the certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election over President Trump. Cruz is advocating for an `emergency 10-day audit` of election returns in disputed states. The usually ceremonial joint session of Congress that convenes to count and accept Electoral College votes will be put on hold as the House and Senate separately debate the objection.
