David Pakman: You Can See The Moment His Brain Breaks

"Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville parrots anti-vaccine propaganda in the context of RFK Jr's nomination by Donald Trump to be Secretary of Health and Human Services" 

From the David Pakman Show

Just to give you an idea of how "impressive" Senator Tommy Tuberville (MAGA, Alabama) thinks of Robert F. Kennedy JR... this is what RFK's wife Cheryl Hines said about her husband today: 

"RFK Jr. faced a tricky dilemma as he sat with Donald Trump on the jubilant president-elect’s plane shortly after the election. Trump has made no secret of his liking for McDonald’s fast food and the table—where Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and House Speaker Mike Johnson were also seated—was set with trays full of Big Macs, fries, and soda. By the same token, Kennedy is disdainful of junk food, calling it “poison.” But according to his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, Kennedy decided he had no choice but to take his “poison.” She told TMZ: “I don’t think he had a choice … it’s all they had.” But Hines isn’t worried that he’ll be swayed by Trump’s bad eating habits in Washington, D.C. if he is confirmed as the nation’s next health chief...

The Daily Beast: Cheryl Hines said husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decided he had no choice but to take his “poison.”

Derik Schneider: Was RFKJR kidnapped? Perhaps forced to eat McDonald's with a gun pointed at him?

So apparently Senator Tuberville is impressed by people who get forced to eat food that they don't like and think that it's bad for them. Or perhaps get kidnapped and are forced to eat what they don't like, what they know is bad for them, by gunpoint. 

Apparently Senator Tuberville is not familiar with Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, that covers Congress and it's role in the U.S. Government, including the Senate's advise and consent policy: 

"Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville said Thursday that it's "not our job" to vet President-elect Donald Trump's nominees.

"Who are we to say that we're a better picker of people than Donald Trump?" Tuberville told CNN's Manu Raju.

Raju reminded Tuberville that advising and consenting on presidential nominees is a core responsibility of the Senate.

Tuberville acknowledged that in part, saying, "We're advise and consent. But that's more the Democrats."

"But don't you think both sides should do the vetting?" Raju asked.

"Well, you know, to some degree," the Alabama lawmaker said. "I mean, but we have to be convinced. I mean, they should do all the background work. They should go after our nominees."

He added: "Donald Trump did all the vetting they needed to do on [Secretary of Defense nominee] Pete Hegseth. And I just can't believe we have people on our side, they're saying, 'Well, I've got to look at this.'"

Conservative Republican Bill Kristol who's never been accused of holding back when talking about how he feels about the MAGA Party (that used to be the Republican Party) made a great comment about Senator Tuberville last year: 

"Gotta say that @SenTuberville is rapidly rising in the heated competition for the medal as the most smug, self-satisfied, and stupid member of Congress." 

From Bill Kristol

Perhaps David Pakman believes that Tommy Tuberville's brain just broke today over vaccinations. But this guy is the Marjorie Taylor Greene of the U.S. Senate. Perhaps less violent and not as loud. But that might only be because he's 20 years older than Representative Greene. 

As Ronald Reagan said: people vote with their feet. Which means we're free to live anywhere we want in America, in any state or town, or city, etc. But the thinking, or  lack of thinking (to be more accurate) that still goes on in Alabama today, is why they're still an underdeveloped state, that perhaps only looks well off compared to their next door neighbor Mississippi. Because most Americans don't want to live there.
