GOP Senator Tuberville Defends White Nationalists as "Americans" Despite Criticism

Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville's office clarified his comments about white nationalists serving in the military, stating that he was skeptical of the notion that there are white nationalists in the military, not that he believes they should be in the military. Tuberville blamed the Biden administration's policies for lagging recruitment in the military and accused Democrats of attacking the military by trying to remove white extremists and nationalists. The Pentagon has been struggling with a rise in white supremacy in the military for years.
