Alabama U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville says President Donald Trump should defund major American cities where leadership is “godawful”
Tuberville appeared on The Benny Show with Benny Johnson on Wednesday, commenting on several issues, including his upcoming run for the Alabama’s governor’s seat
Tuberville was asked if President Donald Trump should cut off funding to large “sanctuary” cities that attract immigrants
“You can stop the federal funding,” Tuberville said. “President Trump can do anything he wants when it comes to the federal. Again, these inner-city rats, they live off the federal government. And that’s one reason we’re $37 trillion in debt
“And it’s time we find these rats and we send them back home, that are living off the American taxpayers, that are working very hard every week to pay taxes”
Tuberville drew fire for some comments about whether people from urban areas should come to Alabama
“Well, don’t be expecting a free lunch, I promise you,” he said. “Bring your lunch with you because you’re not going to be welcomed if you’re going to bring that Communist, Islamic atmosphere with you. We’re not going to deal with it. I’m telling you right now..
“They are going to try and overwhelm us....We have got to fight back”
