The idea that white nationalists believe white people are superior to other races is “some people’s opinion” and not a universal truth, Sen. Tommy Tuberville told Kaitlan Collins during an appearance on CNN Monday night.

Tuberville’s remark came as Collins revisited the comments made by Alabama’s senior senator in May, when Tuberville was asked if he supported white nationalists in the military and he responded: “They [the Biden administration] call them that. I call them Americans.”

“But just to be clear, you agree that white nationalists should not be serving in the U.S. military. Is that what you’re saying?” asked Collins, who anchors “The Source” on CNN.

“If people think that a white nationalist is a racist, I agree with that,” Tuberville responded.

Collins then defined “white nationalist” as “someone who believes that the white race is superior to other races.”

“Well, that’s some people’s opinion,” Tuberville replied.

“That’s not an opinion,” Collins interjected. “What’s your opinion?”

Tuberville then doubled down on his initial remarks from May.

“My opinion of a white nationalist … is an American. Now, if that white nationalist is a racist, I’m totally against anything that they want to do because I am 110 percent against racism,” the senator said.

“But I want somebody that’s in our military that’s strong, that believes in this country,” he continued. “That’s an American that will fight along anybody — whether it’s a man or woman, Black or white, it doesn’t make any difference. And so I’m totally against identity politics I think it’s ruining this country…”
