Trump Confirms He Spoke With ‘Great Gentleman’, Alabama Senator-Elect Tommy Tuberville, Projects Optimism About January 6 Challenge
National File ^ | 12/21/2020 | Gabriel Keane

President Donald Trump confirmed this week that he has spoken via telephone with Alabama Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville, and appeared to be feeling optimistic about Tuberville’s willingness to contest the electoral college results of the 2020 election on Jan. 6.

“I spoke to a great gentleman, Tommy Tuberville, last night, and he was so excited. He said, ‘You made me the most popular politician in the United States,'” Trump stated during an appearance on New York Radio station 770 WABC. “He said, ‘I can’t believe it.’ He’s great. Great senator.”

Tuberville had previously stated that he would “fight hard” for President Trump, as reported last week by National File:

In a video edited together by a left-wing activist on Twitter, Tuberville said “They’re going to steal it” in reference to the Senate runoff election in Georgia. He also showed support for President Donald Trump’s claims of a rigged election, noting “It’s impossible, it’s impossible what happened” in reference to Joe Biden’s purported victory.

“We’re going to get that all corrected,” Tuberville promised. “Don’t give up on [Trump].”

When asked to elaborate later on what “tricks up your sleeve” Senate Republicans may have to help with contesting the election, Tuberville stated, “Well, you see what’s coming. You’ve been reading about it in the House, we’re going to have to do it in the Senate.”

“We’re going to fight hard,” Tuberville promised.

Tuberville appeared to waffle after those remarks went viral, however, telling Yellowhammer News last week, &##8220;They asked me, ‘Are you going to support President Trump?’ And, of course, I’m always going to support President Trump. He’s the best president of my lifetime and has done more for the people of this country and the state of Alabama than anybody. But we want to make sure we do the right thing.”

If Tuberville does choose to contest the election on Jan. 6, he would join a coalition of Republican representatives who have made the pledge to contest on behalf of President Trump, led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL).

Republican Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have all indicated that they will not support the President on Jan. 6.

Is that the Tracy Beanz interview I posted a couple of times here already?

Wrong way to go. In the trenches, we own the republican party right now. The elite just don’t know it yet. Stay with the party and primary, primary, primary. The votes when it hits the house and senate will tell us which ones are the priority.

Do you not understand what said?
I would be with you 100% if it would matter
However in view of events that we have seen transpire since the fraudulent election It is clear that the Left has the Courts, the media and the voting system
In addition to that it looks like most of the Republicans are on their side also.

Yes, thank you for posting it. Pete Santilli also played it, and offered commentary. Things are moving very quickly. I still have hope Trump will resolve this crisis favorably. :)

I hope things are moving. I am afraid that Trump keeps getting persuaded to back down.

Ummm.... doesn’t the Dem controlled House have to vote to uphold a challenge in order to toss electors?

Yes.

Anyone who says otherwise doesn't have a clue what they are talking about - and there are plenty of those around here as of late.

And the entire entertainment complex in America. And the entire public school system. And the entire fraudulent pseudo Christian denominations.

For some reason I just flashed on Hitler's invasion of Poland. Hitler had massive armored division that sped across the land. The Poles had horse mounted cavalry.

There will be challenges on January 6th. That is a given. But unfortunately the votes aren’t there for any of the challenges to be successful in either the House or the Senate.

Posting to both the Auburn and the state ping lists.

War Eagle! Hoping Sen. Tuberville does Alabama and Auburn proud. The desire to do what's right seems to fade quickly with politicians. High expectations that he'll truly represent his constituency.
