The Birmingham News reports:
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Saturday said Democrats are in favor of “reparations” because they are “pro-crime.” Tuberville, R-Ala., made the comments while at a rally held by former President Donald Trump in Nevada.
“They want reparations because they think the people who do the crime are owed that,” Tuberville said as the crowd cheered behind him. “Bullshit!” he added.
Tuberville joined Trump and other Republicans speaking at a rally near Lake Tahoe in Nevada in support of Adam Laxalt, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate and Joe Lombardo, a candidate in the state’s governor’s race.

I reached out to Tuberville’s office for comment — none so far. #alpolitics @aldotcom https://t.co/CXwYuaO6zt
