The mainstream media has a funny way of highlighting those few elected officials who go to Washington DC and actually represent their constituents, because if they are conservative they attack them mercilessly.
Thus, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville has been on the receiving end of criticism from Democrats and the mainstream media because he has had the guts to stand up to President Joe Biden.
Senator Tuberville’s profile has risen nationally recently as being one of the few Senators in the DC bubble to so strongly take on the liberal policies of the Biden Administration. The onslaught of the stepped up condemnation has parralled with his openly calling out President Biden and his political appointees for policies that have particularly weakened the United States national security.
Thus, the mainstream media including some in Alabama have gone on the offense against Senator Tuberville, looking for any and all reasons to attempt to take him down.
It has actually had the opposite effect and Senator Tuberville continues to be one of the most popular elected officials in Alabama. There is no question that if an election were held tomorrow that he would win re-election handily and it is doubtful he would have serious competition. It is not hard to figure out Alabama is one of the most conservative states in the Nation and the Senator’s advocacy reflects the will of the people he represents.
So Democrats and the media can keep up their attacks on Senator Tuberville ad hominem, but there is no question Alabama voters will continue to rally behind the senator more than ever.
