AL Political Reporter: “Alabama’s senior U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville ignited controversy on Tuesday when he referred to recent immigrants as “garbage” during an appearance on Fox Business’s “Kudlow.” Tuberville, while criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’s qualifications as a presidential candidate, veered into a harsh critique of immigration policies. Host Larry Kudlow served as the Director of the National Economic Council under the Trump Administration from 2018 to 2021.
“I mean, how can you put somebody in charge of a situation where you let 15, possibly even 20 million people come into our country? Now some of these people are good, but most of them are garbage. They come from jails and prisons in other countries,” Tuberville stated.”
