Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville is facing a social media firestorm of his own creation after he called President Joe Biden a “garbage human being” on the Twitter/X platform in response to comments the president made in February about a report from Special Counsel Robert Hur.
Mediaite reports that Tuberville sent the tweet from his personal Twitter account.
Tuberville’s tweet was sent after the testimony of former Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding his findings on President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. A point of contention was Hur’s assessment of Biden’s “poor memory,” including a claim that Biden did not remember when his son Beau Biden died. Biden lashed out to the press following the release of the report, saying, “How in the hell dare he raise that?”
According to Tuberville, Biden’s remarks make him a “garbage human being.”
Tuberville’s disrespectful and tasteless posting didn’t sit well with many and resulted in the senator being pilloried online.
