Like, at this point the absolute most rope I can give him is that he’s the living embodiment of that Mitchell and Webb sketch Are we the Baddies
How do you NOT know that white nationalists aren’t just nationalists who happen to be white? If he’s not racist then he’s dumber than the congressman who was afraid an island would capsize if people evacuated to one side of it.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

That’s an apt quote and I think it’s very probable that Tuberville is a racist piece of shit, but he’s also very stupid.
a more intelligent person would have handled issue more deftly.
