One can only assume the Washington Post has hired Senator Tuberville's PR man

In the nine months since, however, Tuberville has surprised people by declining to play the role of MAGA firebrand. He’s been trying to position himself as a relationship builder and an aspiring insider. He’s hired staff from outside MAGA world. He’s done PSAs about getting vaccinated against the coronavirus. He called Trump’s rhetoric leading up to Jan. 6 a “mistake.” And while he believes there were “some problems” with the 2020 election, he is not yet convinced that voter fraud caused Trump’s loss.

That said, Tuberville is not sorry about voting against certifying the election.

“I have no regrets,” he said.

This is a story about Tommy Tuberville, but it’s also a story about Jan. 6, and what comes next for pro-Trump Republicans who want to forget what happened last winter while remaining loyal to a leader who won’t let it go.

Coach, like most members of his party, is not dwelling on what happened on Insurrection Day. But if a new senator casts a vote at odds with the very foundation of democracy, what makes him think he can just move on?

much more crap at the link.

1. Yeah, fuck that guy. He has no fucking business being

a legislator of any kind. I'm not even 100% convinced that he can read.

8. He didn't know what the three branches of government are

I think he said the three branches are the Executive, the House, and the Senate

6. Tuberville reported Pence's whereabouts January 6.

From Politico:

Sen. Tommy Tuberville revealed late Wednesday that he spoke to Donald Trump on Jan. 6, just as a violent mob closed in on the the Senate, and informed the then-president directly that Vice President Mike Pence had just been evacuated from the chamber.

“I said ‘Mr. President, they just took the vice president out, I’ve got to go,'” Tuberville (R-Ala.) told POLITICO on Capitol Hill on Wednesday night, saying he cut the phone call short amid the chaos.

7. "What makes him think he can just move on?" IOKIYAR, of course

And if you think the popular media are going to remember that Sen. Tuberville obediently voted against certifying the election of President Biden, I'd say you overslept your alarm by a few decades. And while Tuberville can just move on, he can also be quite confident that nobody in the media will remember his vote against certification or ask him if he thinks his own election was above review or reproach, based on that vote. Such impertinence simply isn't done. So, "no regrets."
