GOP Trump lickspittle Tommy Tuberville saying the quiet part out loud, and proving once again he's one of the dumbest members of the United States Senate. As we discussed here, Tuberville made an appearance outside of the courtroom in Manhattan and whined that the prosecutors were causing Trump "mental anguish."

Apparently embarrassing himself with those remarks, along with the rest of the cultists who showed up in their MAGA uniforms at the courthouse this Tuesday wasn't enough for Tuberville. He also admitted on Newsmax that he came to New York City to break the gag order for Trump:

MSNBC Anchor Nicolle Wallace reported Tuberville's public admission, made on the conservative channel Newsmax, as part of her coverage on Trump's ongoing criminal hush money trial and the gag order the former president has been fined for repeatedly violating.

"I guess we love that he just gives it to us, right?" said a laughing Wallace. "Were you trying to go against the gag order and intimidate witnesses because Trump can't? 'Yes, sir.'"

Tuberville spoke to the media outside of the courthouse on Monday, attacking the district attorney and witnesses, and went so far as to question whether the jury was truly American.

"Hopefully, we have more and more senators and congressmen go up and represent him, and go out and overcome this gag order," Tuberville told to Newsmax. "That's why we went up was to go there and speak our peace for President Trump."

Wallace acknowledged Tuberville was not bound by the gag order imposed by Justice Juan Merchan at the behest of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, but condemned the message the Republican senator sent.

"The rule of law is the letter of the law; it's the spirit of the law," Wallace said. "The spirit of the law doesn't say Tommy Tuberville can attack the witness, but that's what the spirit of the law is."

He knows that's exactly what he's doing, but assumes there will never be any consequences for it like the rest of them that have been taking Trump's marching orders and violating the gag order for him. The rest of them doing it realized that maybe they shouldn't just straight out admit it while being filmed. Tuberville hasn't learned to quit sticking his foot in his mouth.

Here's the segment with Wallace discussing Tuberville's admission:
