During a Monday appearance on "The Charlie Kirk Show," U.S. Sen. Tommy (R-Auburn) backed the Trump administration's efforts to stop illegal immigration and deploy the National Guard to major cities like Washington, D.C., to crack down on crime.
Tuberville told host Charlie Kirk that President Donald Trump was trying to take back control of the streets because the criminals were "trying to destroy our country from within."
"President Trump is up to his ears in alligators, and he knows that," Tuberville outlined. "There's different problems every day. And I've told people this with traveling the state and country this last month out of Washington, D.C., [that] if you don't have control of your streets and your neighborhoods, you have nothing. I don't care if you have got money and a great family and everything going for you, you have to have safety. Well, that's what President Trump is trying to put back into our country."
"Now, I've been in Washington, D.C., about five years, and what a disaster ... homeless everywhere," he continued. "I could have made several citizen's arrests myself of watching nonsense go on. I've been accosted out exercising up and down the mall there in Washington, D.C. We're in trouble. The country's in trouble. Thank God for President Trump and him pulling the situation of bringing more law enforcement, which is our National Guard, to cities. ... They have no idea of what to do because they are trying to destroy our country from within."
