U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville says Democrats “hate” women and want them to be “extinct.”
The Alabama Republican freshman lawmaker made a name for himself by blocking hundreds of critical military promotions last year over the military’s policy of reimbursing service members who are forced to travel out of state to obtain reproductive care and abortion services. His almost year-long blockade was so damaging some experts said it will take years for the U.S. Armed Forces to recover.
Now, he is now turning his attention to attacking transgender girls and women.
To promote his legislation that would ban transgender female athletes from women’s and girls’ sports, Tuberville spoke to right-wing media outlets on Tuesday, making several baseless and false allegations.
Sen. Tuberville told Harris Faulkner of Fox News that the Biden administration, “especially the Democrats, are going after women. They attack women, they hate women, and so they’re going after women’s sports.”

Tuberville, who infamously was unable to name the three branches of government, also claimed that President Biden has “put out laws” against Title IX. Only Congress can pass laws, and only the President can sign them. President Biden has not “put out” any laws against Title IX.
“Well, I never thought I’d be talking about this,” Tuberville also said on Newsmax, after making false remarks about the southern border and the Senate border bill, “being a coach of 40 years, being part of Title IX, we’re basically it’s probably the best law ever come up with up in here in Washington, D.C. It made it equal for men and women to have their own sports to be able to compete and learn the things that you learn in life and growing up and also be able to compete and some making money, but of course, the Democratic Party is totally against gender.”
“They do not like women. They want women to be extinct,” Tuberville also falsely claimed. “And now they’re getting into athletics to make sure that hey, let’s don’t let women learn from sports. Let’s attack them by letting biological men compete against them. And as you said, I made a bill last week and we’re pushing it that that basically says in the even in the Olympics, you cannot allow men to compete against women. They are now making it legal, in the Olympics, for men to be able to box against women. Now you want to talk about a disaster? This is going to be a total disaster. And again, this is all about the Democrats. No common sense. No thought about the future for anybody other than themselves. And the attack on women. It is just it’s it’s it’s it’s it’s against the law of what they’re doing. They know it, but they’re gonna continue to push it because they think that this will transition our country into something that it’s never been.”
