The media is going to learn that folks from Alabama don't get bent out of shape when the media tries to frame rhetoric in an inflammatory way. He's one of my senators and I'm quite pleased with his work so far.

It's funny how most of these so called Patriots have never done a damn thing, but take photos holding a gun or show up at one of these MAGA racist rallies.

What better combat soldier could you ask for than a nationalist/patriot of any color?!

I mean assuming the military is still about winning wars!

Why would anyone want a soldier who WASN'T a nationalist?

Because most of these white nationalist are cowards.

Like I said. Another armchair warrior. I'd love to see you go up to a marine and call him a coward!

But we all know where the REAL coward is.

Are you saying all Marines are white nationalist?

Why would want a racial nationalist of any color in our military or even normalized?

A white nationalist isn’t a patriot who happens to be white.

The “nationalist” part of the term does NOT refer to the United States of America. It refers to white people being supreme in any nation they’re in.

There ARE white patriots in America, of course. Millions of them. White Nationalists are not among them.

So no one crying about white nationalist will point out which group above is simply misunderstood patriots?

How about any of these?

• Creativity Alliance, (formerly known as the World Church of the Creator) is a white supremacist political organization that advocates the racialist religion, Creativity. Mainly religious rather than political, the radical Creativity Alliance or the Church of Creativity, founded by Ben Klassen in 1973, worships the white race rather than any deity, and it also advocates a radical form of white supremacism which is known as RAHOWA.
• EURO, is a white separatist organization in the United States. Led by former Louisiana state representative, presidential primary candidate and Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke, it was founded in 2000.[19][20]
• Goyim Defense League and video channel GoyimTV, an antisemitism group run by Jon Minadeo II.[21]
• Hammerskins, also known as the Hammerskin Nation, are a white supremacist group which was formed in 1988 in Dallas, Texas. Their primary focus is the production and promotion of white power rock music, and many white power bands have been affiliated with the group.
• Identity Evropa is an American neo-Nazi and white supremacist organization which was established in March 2016.
• Ku Klux Klan, often abbreviated KKK and informally known as The Klan, is the name of three distinct past and present [22] organizations in the United States, which have advocated extremist and reactionary currents such as white supremacy and nationalism. The Klan is classified as a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.[23] It is estimated to have between 5,000 and 8,000 members, split among dozens of different organizations that use the Klan name as of 2012.[24]

A nationalist is not the same thing as a patriot, but a lot of politicians try to spin it as if they are, and if that's what he meant, fine. He could have gotten away with "nationalists are Americans."

But white nationalist, specifically? No. This is universally understood to deserve people who think that whites are superior to all others and deserve more from society, and all others deserve less and should be dominated by whites. This is the Aryan Brotherhood, the American Nazi Party, and the Klan. Anyone who backs them is a piece of shit of the highest order, and should be an enemy to all Americans, full stop.

In all likelihood, I think he meant to say "white people, who are American nationalists," and he just got ahead of himself in the moment. CNN apparently did report that he later clarified with a four-word "White nationalists are racists" nullifier later that day, and other Republicans did give him a rack of shit for it, which politicians don't always do to their own party. Still, though, that's either a massive gaffe or a super-damning Freudian slip that should have sent him running to the nearest mic to clarify, over and over again, that he did not mean to just say "Klansmen are welcome."

The worst part about this is that a lot of people just don't care that a sitting US Senator appeared to accept white nationalism, even if they did see the super-short "I didn't mean it" walkback. That tells me that a lot of people are either distracted, dumb, or sleepy enough to let white supremacy gain a foothold in the highest levels of our country, or they are white supremacists themselves.

Why would want a racial nationalist of any color in our military or even normalized?

Where do you get this "racial" crap from? What do you think a soldier is there for? Our military is there fighting for "our side," with our weapons, paid for with our tax dollars, designed by our engineers, and that means us, our nation, our interests. Soldiers defend territories, territories are national, legal, political zones, ie, NATIONS, hence, N A T I O N A L.

Race doesn't even enter into the equation.

Exactly. Tuberville wants us to have a strong army, just like we did in the past.
