We’re going to say it like they do in the South — bless his heart.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) says that if NFL teams in the South decide to follow the Minnesota Vikings’ lead and hire male cheerleaders, they’re going to have a “huge problem.”
The Alabama Republican’s claim came nearly two minutes into Tuesday’s episode of the “Outkick Hot Mic” podcast amid a MAGA word salad of a rant that included some not-so-subtle hints of homophobia.
“If you’re going to be woke and you’re going to try to, you know, take the men out of men’s sports … and say, ‘Okay, we’re gonna make it more about gender than we are about masculinity,’” Tuberville began. “Then you’re gonna have a huge problem.”
Tuberville went on to say that because the Vikings are based in Minnesota, a “blue state,” they’re “more about socialism” and are trying to push a narrative.
