U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville speaks during a campaign rally at Minden-Tahoe Airport on Saturday in Minden, Nevada.U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville speaks during a campaign rally at Minden-Tahoe Airport on Saturday in Minden, Nevada.Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., falsely compared descendants of enslaved people to criminals during his speech on Saturday, drawing criticism that his remarks were racist.
The lawmaker was invited to speak at a pro-Trump rally in Minden, Nevada to support Republican candidates ahead of November's midterm elections. In an overwhelming white crowd, Tuberville criticized Democrats for being"pro-crime." "They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that," Tuberville added."Bullsh*t! They are not owed that."
Reparations refer to compensation for those who have suffered wrongdoing. Over the years, there's been growing support to offer reparations for Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved as a way to address the lingering effects of slavery.
