Alabama Sen. Tommy Tubervile appeared on Newsmax's "National Report" and claimed that trans men should be imprisoned for using a locker room for biological men. Or something like that. He's a difficult person to read, especially since he's yapping about morals after he blocked the confirmation and promotion process for nearly 400 military nominations. I wouldn't want a guy's opinion that left critical national security positions vacant, but Newsmax is not a serious network.

"They're going to have to be put in jail for that, but to be put into a locker room with a biological male," Tuberville said. "Uh, to me, that's against the law. Uh, you know, people should be put in jail for that."

"It's just unfortunate we're having to go through this point in time," he continued. "That's the reason we have to get this administration out of office because everything they've touched. Whether it's foreign relations economy, anything to do with sports. They have absolutely ruined it."

"So we've got to get back to common sense in this country. "And we've got to get back to fairness and give these young girls. Women an opportunity because if we don't do that, if we don't make this change, we're going to start losing young girls at an age that parents are going to allow them to dress in dressing rooms."

"Take showers with biological boys or participate in a sport where they might be injured against a bigger, faster, stronger person," he added.

This guy can't even form a coherent sentence, and he was elected into office. Trying to transcribe that gibberish gave me a headache. Damn, Alabama, you could have had Doug Jones instead of this bloviating idiot. Of course, they also gave Kay Ivey the keys to the governor's mansion, and they want to put a guy facing 91 felonies back in the White House, so I guess it makes sense. The most I could make of his rant is that he wants the Biden administration to be voted out because trans people use the locker room. This particular outrage involves the LibsOfTikTok lady who shared a video of a customer complaining that a trans woman was using the women's bathroom at Planet Fitness.

Ever since Chaya Raichik shared that video, the gym franchise has been the victim of at least 17 bomb hoaxes. The former coach is right -- people should go to jail, but he's thinking of the wrong people. Raichik is a stochastic terroriist.
