Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) threatened that there would be another Jan. 6 riot if Democrats did not pass a Republican-backed bill that would make it harder to vote.
Yeah, that sounds like Tuberville.

K he can go to jail too. Ggez
I swear to your fucken god, Tommy, I will drive over there and teach your constituents to read if you dont shut the fuck up.
Just get Nick Saban to run against him and he’ll move to Lubbock, Texas
That fits the legal definition of terrorism in the US
Also sedition, right?
Report him to the fbi.
If he said this, yes. If you read more than the headline, you'll see he just said "there will be hell to pay". He's still a douchebag but it's not even vaguely a terroristic threat.
IT’S ALL MY OWN BEAUTIFUL NATURAL HAIR
All 35 of them.
I'll take the hell to pay if Dems win the election over the living hell if they don't, thanks.
I’m tired of the misinformation and twisting of words.
According to the article the closest Tuber came to a threat was making the comment “…there will be Hell to pay.” His only mention of Jan 6 was him saying that was his first day.
If we’re going to call them out for their stupidity, let’s do it on what they actually say — not on hyperbole.
After saying Jan 6 was his first day he said that’s what’s going to happen if the Democrats don’t change the law to require citizens to bring their passports or birth certificates to vote. His party will tell voters that the results are untrustworthy if they don’t add this overlay for the first time in US history. It was absolutely a threat. Pass our legislation or there is hell to pay.
Jackass holds up military promotions for over a year and still expects people to listen to him?
Tommy Tuberville should make like the late terrorist, Ashlii Babit, and fuck right off.
💯
Surely the FBI will investigate this threat right? Right?
Tuberville sounds like a town I'd never want to visit.
I'd visit. Potatos are the joy of the vegetable world, and it's a shame they have their glory stained by this windbag.
Tess of Tuberville: a modern take on a classic.
These kinds of things will ramp up as we get closer to the election. An entire constituency of the USA is 100% convinced that any loss must mean a stolen election. This is uncharted territory, even compared to 2020.
Thanks for your legacy of domestic terrorism donald.
What a vile, worthless piece of trash he is.
This guy sucks the bawls.
And not just one set, all of the bawls.
Lick the bawl bowl clean, Tuberville!!
Sweet sweet Tommy you can go to hell.
Use this speech as a reason to question him if anything happens on Jan 6th. I don’t want him prosecuted unfairly, but I think a good scare is in order.
This? This is what you want to do with all that CFB goodwill?
Treason.
Shut up, Tommy.
