Incoming Alabama Senator Can’t Name Three Branches of US Gov, Says WWII Fought Over Socialism
The first major interview of US Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) political career has gone viral after the incoming legislator showcased his questionable civics knowledge and offered up a number of undeniably false statements.
Alabama residents may be experiencing a bit of voter’s remorse after, without prompting, Tuberville told the world what he considers to be the three branches of the US federal government, as well as his own version of world history.
“Yeah and that’s how our government was set up. You know, our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three of branches of government. It wasn’t set up that way, our three branches, the House, the Senate and executive,” the 65-year-old senator-elect told the Alabama Daily News.
“You know, we’re up there to help the people of the country. I don’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat.”
We’re betting a couple of Alabama middle schoolers are just dying to tell the soon-to-be lawmaker that the three branches of the US government are the legislative, executive, and judiciary, according to a power-sharing formula devised by 18th century French philosopher Montesquieu.
Netizens facepalmed in response to his misidentification. Some even argued that the incoming Alabama senator would not be able to pass a US citizenship test.
No I’m sorry. There are only 100 people elected to the Senate in a country of 330 million. They make decisions that impact each of us every day. I don’t think it’s controversial to expect them to be precise about our government. None of us should be willing to lower our standards.
