Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, invoked Alabama's senior U.S. Senator at a fundraiser on Wednesday, according to a report from the Huffington Post's Igor Bobic.
Walz, who is under fire for a stolen valor claim, mentioned U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) at a $25,000-and-up fundraiser in Boston.
"I feel like one of my roles in this now is to be the anti-Tommy Tuberville, to show that football coaches are not the dumbest people," Walz said per Bobic's tweet.
Walz was a defensive coordinator at Mankato West High School in Mankato, Minn.
Tuberville was the head coach at Hermitage High School in Hermitage, Ark., before coaching the Division I programs at Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas Tech and Cincinnati.
