On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) warned that the Democrats were going to push a "summer of hate" to prevent President Donald Trump from getting anything done.

While speaking with Steve Bannon on "Bannon's War Room," Tuberville pointed to the rioting in Los Angeles as part of anti-immigration protests and suggested there would be more to come this summer. He added that the chaos was the only way Democrats could "fight back because their ideology is absolutely insane."

"I would hate for my parents to see what our country has turned into," Tuberville declared. "I've seen third-world countries run better than California. I mean, this joke they've got for a governor and this mayor out there, they're communists, Marxists. There's no doubt, and they're trying to change California into something that is totally different than the rest of the country. We're not going to allow that to happen. President Trump's not going to allow it to happen. I just hope there's not bloodshed, but you know, these Democrats, it's an 80-20 proposition. Eighty percent of people want these illegals gone, but the Democrats always take the side of the nutjobs, which is the 20% that want them to stay.

"Steve, I'm worried," he continued. "I'm worried about this weekend, you know, the 250th anniversary of the Army and of course, the parade here in Washington, D.C. But you can see them gathering forces. This is not going to be the summer of love. This is going to be the summer of hate. And the Democrats are going to push it, and they're going to push it hard. They want President Trump to be knocked to his knees and not be able to accomplish anything. And this is the only way they can fight back because their ideology is absolutely insane.
