Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Tuesday said, simply and for the first time, that "white nationalists are racists."
That remark to reporters marked a reversal from days of controversial comments to the contrary, which had drawn criticism from Democratic leaders and head-scratching from some of Tuberville's Republican colleagues.
Earlier on Tuesday, the senator told ABC News that white nationalists shouldn't all be labeled as "racist" while also insisting he opposes racism.
Tuberville, a former college football coach first elected in 2020, had been pressed on his stance by ABC's Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott, who asked him, "Can you explain why you continue to insist that white nationalists are American?"
Scott was referring to commets Tuberville made first in May and then again earlier this week, after he was initially asked about military readiness and whether white nationalists should be able to serve.
"Listen, I'm totally against racism. And if Democrats want to say that white nationalists are racist, I'm totally against that, too," he told Scott on Tuesday, hours before changing his view.

Nonsense and idiocy is pushed and promoted.
Define “White Nationalist.”
I dare you.
The morons never understood what he was trying to explain because they never wanted to. They are disgusting.
Ugh!! Say the line Duke.
Yes!
Nationalists who happen to be white are still nationalists.
They are not necessarily ‘supremacists’, or the other epithet.
Get a pre-2000 dictionary, Tommy. Please.
“Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Tuesday said, simply and for the first time, that “white nationalists are racists.” “
Republican “conservatives” are weak fags who cave to Democrat demands.
Surprise, surprise.
“white nationalists are racists”
I suspect most people posting here are White, and also support the country. That’s what DC does to someone who hasn’t studied THE ENEMY (and it’s just not the Dems who are the enemy).
“”white nationalists are racists.”
This White Nationalist does not care a whit what Tommy Tuberville thinks.
BTW: Every human on earth is racist. It’s encoded into our DNA as a survival feature.
So, any pro-American person who happens to be white is racist?
Therefore, any pro-American person who happens to be black is also racist?
And, the same goes for an American Indian, I’m thinking like the Marine Navajo Code Talkers? For the awesome regiment of Japanese in Europe, these guys are all racist too?
The only racists I’ve ever met are Rats.
Perhaps instead he should have stated that “black nationalists” are also racist.
Why wouldn’t a White nationalist also be American?
Ok - BLM are racists. How about that?
We are designed to have affinity towards those who are related to us.
Go back a hundred generations or so (to the time of the Roman Empire) and most people of European descent can find at least one common ancestor.
So FU Tuber !
It's a term coined by the Left--like "Saturday night special" and "climate denier."
