Tommy Tuberville says it's not his job to vet Trump's cabinet nominees - please make it stop

Every Republican act and utterance over the last eight years has proved that in the GOP’s race to the bottom, there is no bottom. But if there were, they have the horses to find it. And God knows they’re trying. It would take more ink than my allotment to list every angry, bigoted moron on the MAGA team. But today, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), has made a strong claim to the dumbest of them all.

On Thursday, this doltish buffoon added to his legacy of idiocy by telling CNN’s Manu Raju that GOP senators should not be responsible for vetting Trump’s cabinet picks.

Sometimes one is faced with such sublime stupidity you do not know whether to be awed by the extent of it. Or shudder at the thought that a fellow countryman — one of the 100 at the pinnacle of the legislative hill — is so unrelentingly moronic.

I will let Tuberville explain his ‘thinking’ (I have interpreted the term generously). Following is the substance of his chat with Raju.

... Speaking on The Jeff Poor Show ... Tuberville shamelessly fawned over the Russian prime minister ...

The comments came just hours before Tuberville voted to shoot down the Senate’s foreign aid deal, which dedicates $60 billion in aid to Ukraine ...

Probably a lot less than we imagine.
Didn't cost much for them to turn the country over to Putin.

He thinks he answers to the Executive Branch.

8. Well it's literally in the Constitutional job description, but as we have all long suspected Tuberville is illiterate.

In addition to being a world class douchebag. He disgraces the Senate chamber just by being near it.
