Tommy Tuberville’s Newsmax Rant Ends In Spectacular Facepalm Moment

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Ala.) “no dictatorship” comment went embarrassingly awry on Thursday.

Railing on Newsmax against criticism of President Donald Trump’s new executive order that seeks to ban trans women and girls from women’s sports, the Trump acolyte boldly declared:

“There is no dictatorship here other than Donald Trump saying, ‘This is not gonna happen.’”

Critics said pretty much the same thing in response:

That’s literally the definition of dictatorship

We don’t have a dictatorship, we just have this one guy who dictates what happens.

“There is no dictatorship here other than our leader dictating what can and cannot happen.”

He is so self unaware.

Tommy Tuberville just admitted Trump is a dictator—he just thinks it’s fine. “There is no dictatorship here other than Trump saying ‘this is not gonna happen.’” Buddy, that’s the definition of a dictatorship! They aren’t even hiding it anymore. Wake up, America!

Man who doesn’t know what words mean attempts to use them anyway.

God even without the volume on, you can hear the stupid coming out of him.
