U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock frequently talks about his work across the aisle with Republicans. One of his go-to examples: his partnership with Sen. Tommy Tuberville to help peanut farmers.

Tuberville even got a shoutout as the Alabama senator in Warnock’s latest ad, which features the Georgian underneath a peanut sheller.

So, what does Warnock think about Tuberville’s remarks comparing descendants of enslaved people to criminals, which leading civil rights groups have condemned as racist?

Speaking on the liberal “Pod Save America,” Warnock called the remarks “deeply disappointing” and pressed the Alabama Republican to apologize.

“I think it’s one more example of the ways in which we are in the moment where there are those in office who are trying to appeal to the worst in us for short-term political gain,” he said.

“Not only is his rhetoric inappropriate, quite frankly it’s dangerous,” Warnock said. “And he really should apologize and make amends for that kind of rhetoric.”
