During a Thursday interview with Benny Johnson of "The Benny Johnson Show," U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) asserted that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani would eventually end up in Guantánamo Bay for his actions.

The Democrat socialist mayor of The Big Apple has come under fire recently for an administration plan to meet with Iran's ambassador to the United Nations before the State Department reportedly intervened and calling for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest.

According to the GOP Alabama gubernatorial nominee, Mamdani would do something "stupid" enough to get himself arrested and sent to "Gitmo," a nickname for Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, a military base where terror suspects are held.

"[F]or some reason, we have enough people in New York that would vote for this guy to run the largest and the most popular city in the world," Tuberville told Johnson. "It just goes to show you how close we are to losing our country."

"Sooner or later, he will do something more stupid than what he's done, to where we'll finally say, 'Enough's enough,' go putting handcuffs on him and get him the hell out of here and send him to Gitmo, because the guy hates this country, he wants to change it, and that's not going to happen," he added.
