Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) recently blasted former President Donald Trump’s criminal court proceedings Monday because the former president wasn’t receiving the proper respect via Mediaite.
It has been noted that Tuberville and V.P. hopeful Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) were in court to show their support for Trump as star witness and former “fixer” Michael Cohen took the stand.
During a break in the proceedings, Tuberville told the media, “First of all, I’m disappointed in the courtroom. I’m hearing, ‘Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump.’ He is former President Trump. Give him some respect. I mean, that’s what that place is in there. It’s no respect.” Tuberville continued:
Here is what I’m seeing, too. It is depressing. That courtroom is depressing. This is New York City. The icon of our country, and we got a courtroom that’s the most depressing thing I’ve ever been in. Mental anguish is trying to be pushed on the Republican candidate for the president of the United States this year. That’s all this is. He’s been here a month. He’s been here a month. I am disappointed in looking at the American — supposedly American citizens in that courtroom, that the D.A. comes in and he acts like it is his Super Bowl. I guess it is, to be noticed. But that’s what’s happening in this country.
Republican candidate for president of the United States is going through metal anguish in a courtroom that’s very depressing. Very depressing. I’m glad to stand by President Trump. I’m a friend of his. I’m here more as a friend than backing him as candidate as president.
I’m sitting there listening to a guy on the stand that they had to get out of house arrest because he lied in another court to testify in this court. He’s a convicted felon. I mean, this guy, he’s up there giving an acting scene and all of a sudden he comes out and says, “Oh, I have recorded President Trump on my telephone.” This guy worked for President Trump. I mean, how can you be convinced by somebody that is a serial liar? It should be no reason that anybody should listen to this guy.
Tuberville added, “At the end of the day, the Democrats — the Democrats are trying to beat President Trump in the jury box because they can’t beat him at the ballot box. That’s end of story.”
