Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) is facing intense backlash for his cringeworthy post on Twitter/X, where he suggested renaming Presidents Day as "President Donald J. Trump Day", with journalist John Harwood calling him "the most embarrassing senator in modern history".
Tuberville's post, which included a photoshopped image of Mount Rushmore with Trump's face, was ridiculed by authors and journalists, including Kirk Walden, who reminded him of George Washington's sacrifices for the country, and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who compared him to "bootlickers" surrounding Chairman Mao.
The Alabama senator has a history of controversial statements, including using racist rhetoric about crime in Montgomery, and has been accused of being a "useful idiot" for Trump's attempts to undermine America's democratic government, with author Sidney Blumenthal stating that his actions are part of a larger strategy to replace professional officers with "flunkies" loyal to Trump.
