Down the road from Reno, the Orange Cry Baby held one of his rallies the other day.
Republican US Senator Tommy Tuberville, of Auburn U. college football fame, came along for the festivities. Tuberville, one of the Senate's dumbest bulbs, shouted the quiet part out loud. By way of Judd Legum:
On Saturday, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) appeared at a rally in Minden, Nevada, to support the Republican nominee for Senate, Adam Laxit. During his speech at the event, which also featured Donald Trump, Tuberville unleashed a racist diatribe against Black Americans. Tuberville said that reparations, which would provide benefits to Black descendants of slaves, would only benefit criminals.Some people say, well, [Democrats are] soft on crime. No, they’re not soft on crime. They’re pro-crime. They want crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparation because they think the people that do the crime are owed that! Bullshit!
The crowd, full of people wearing Trump hats and other MAGA paraphernalia, responded by erupting in applause.
I raise this racist morsel up because, at the UniteHERE Reno campaign, something like half our folks knocking doors are Black workers - cooks and housekeepers - from the east coast, come to help out among the cowboys and tech bros of the high desert. They encounter this racism every day. And they just keep searching out our voters. I am in awe.
You can join us for a weekend or a week.
He as a putz as a racist coach as well. He's the pre-cursor to Herschel Walker - a cipher and a dumb-as-a-rock ignoramus with a "conservative", albeit racist reputation picked out and put forward because of his "fame" and name recognition. Now, they manipulate him him a yo yo and he just goes along with it all..

Sickeningly and shamefully sad and pathetic...
I've walked those streets of Reno Reno for months on end in 2012 and 2018 - the people I had the privilege of walking with then are some of the finest, most dedicated souls on the face of the earth. Hard working... dedicated... informed and dedicated. I only wish I could be walking again this cycle.

His name is pronounced TUB-er-ville, not T(Y)OO-ber-ville. So the first syllable, as in bath-TUB, not as in tuber (potato).
