Another MAGA Senator Goes on Bigoted Tirade Against Muslims

Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is defending a social media post he shared naming Muslims as “the enemy... inside the gates” and comparing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to the terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks.

Tuberville’s post included an image of Mamdani hosting an Iftar meal, which marks the end of the daily Ramadan fast, alongside a photo of the twin towers burning. “Less than 25 years apart,” the caption on the reposted photo reads.

The backlash came immediately from Democrats, who blasted the post as vicious and racist, with many demanding he delete it immediately.

“This is mindless hate,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X. “Islamophobic hate like this is fundamentally un-American and we must confront and overcome it whenever it rears its ugly head.”

The Alabama senator was not deterred. He went back online and shot back at a Politico headline that said he suggested Muslims are “the enemy.”

“I didn’t ‘suggest’ Islamists are the enemy. I said it plainly,” Tuberville wrote on X.
