Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) lashed out at the National Guard because it rejects "white supremacists."
During a Wednesday interview with convicted criminal and podcaster Steve Bannon, Tuberville recalled that the riots of Jan. 6, 2021, happened on his first day in Washington, D.C.
"We had the protest, and there were no National Guard people," Tuberville told Bannon. "Well, the next day we bring in [25,000] National Guard people, Nancy Pelosi did, and the first thing they did is they went through all of them and said, are you a Trump supporter? If you were, they sent your butt home."

"No way," Bannon replied.
"Oh yeah," Tuberville insisted. "If you're a white supremacist or Black supremacist, anybody that believed in our country, they want you to believe in the federal government."

"And so they weeded out the Trump supporters from the National Guard?" Bannon asked.
"Yeah, sure," the senator said. "They did. It was twenty-five thousand of them."
Tuberville said Donald Trump would remedy the situation "when" he is re-elected.
"We need to have a total readjustment," he opined. "I've talked to President Trump about this."
"We've talked a plan about about military down the down the pipe, you know, when — when he gets elected, not if because we — we have to we have to turn the ship around."
