Tuberville tells CPAC: America needs Trump to stop left from âtearing down cities, burning buildingsâ
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville spoke Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference, which is meeting through Feb. 24 in Washington, D.C.
The senator warned of a resurgent left “tearing down cities, burning buildings,” and said, “We’ve got to get Donald Trump elected president of the United States.”
Tuberville, the former Auburn University football coach turned Republican senator for Alabama, pressed the urgency of Trump’s campaign.
“Folks, you have got to do all you can do to get everybody to go vote,” Tuberville said.
“I’m telling you, I’m just an average country boy from the South that came to the big city that has been amazed, if you don’t have that White House, I don’t care if you’ve got the senate, I don’t care if you’ve got the House, if you don’t have that White House, with the power that the president of the United States now has, if we don’t get him back in that White House, it is going to be tough for any of us to survive in the greatest country ever of 248 years.”
Trump is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at CPAC on Saturday.
“That has got to be our step forward for the next 10 months,” Tuberville said of getting Trump elected.
He warned of a return of riots that swept the country after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police in 2020.
“Now, It’s going to be rough,” Tuberville said.
“You’re going to have the groups coming out on the left that we saw a few years ago, tearing down cities, burning buildings. Hey, we got to wipe our hands of that and we got understand that no matter what happens in the next 10 months, he has got to be re-elected, because he is the only thing that’s going to save us from losing this great country that we live in.”
