It's probably not a surprise to most that U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) does not think highly of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee.

His assessment, however, is not based solely on ideology or policy disagreements but also on her ability to respond to the media.

During an appearance on Mobile radio FM Talk 106.5's "The Jeff Poor Show," Tuberville called Harris the country's "first AI [artificial intelligence] presidential candidate."

"This is our first AI presidential candidate in Kamala Harris, meaning that everything that she does is artificial intelligence thrown out there in terms of doing interviews that are — they come to a computer, how you answer, she doesn't answer," he said. "But basically, a computer does. So this is a different world, different time. President Trump has got the problems. He knows it, but you're not going to coop him up, and hopefully, we can get more help for him."

Tuberville added, "But they're not very realistic up here. And even the Republicans — I don't see a cry out for, 'Hey, help the guy be able to campaign.' But I tell you, I'm very disappointed in even a lot of the Republicans."
