UNITED STATES - MAY 3: Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., is seen in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, May 3, 2023.

Tommy Tuberville told Kaitlan Collins during an appearance on CNN Monday night., when Tuberville was asked if he supported white nationalists in the military and he responded: “They [the Biden administration] call them that. I call them Americans.
“But just to be clear, you agree that white nationalists should not be serving in the U.S. military. Is that what you’re saying?” asked Collins, who anchors “The Source” on CNN. Asked on CNN about his downplaying of white nationalism, Tommy Tuberville claims "I had opportunity to be around more minorities than anybody up here on this hill." Kaitlan Collins responds by raising her eyebrow.
