GOP Senator Defends White Nationalists: ‘I Call Them Americans’
Tommy Tuberville said
That's not what he said though.
He rejected the premise that they were white nationalists in the first place, saying that they were mislabeled.
He absolutely didn't defend white nationalists. He wasn't talking about white nationalists at all, and that was his point.
Yes but when you pull up the interview you can see that these outlets, including Rolling Stone, seem perfectly happy to promote the false narrative because it's dramatic and gets them more clicks.
Rolling Stone is not a particularly trustworthy news source. This is an example of why.
Well, you know we are both entitled to our opinions and we have expressed them.
Consider this matter closed.
But this is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of fact.
The guy literally did not say what he's being haranged for saying. I would share your opinion that supporting white nationalists would be a bad thing, so we actually agree on our opinions. It's just that, factually, he didn't.
But yeah, I'm sure that's as far as the matter goes here.

Per Rolling Stone:
Tuberville had explicitly defended “white extremists” and “white nationalists” earlier in the interview, alleging that President Biden is “destroying” the military by opposing their inclusion.
