He did that about white supremacists, and that didn’t work out too well for him.

See? Tommy’s not quite as dumb as he looks. Tommy can learn.

Kinda.

to have come up with this plan on his own. As the OP stated - he's waiting for instruction - from the GOP!
They just happened to find a rube that would not lose a single vote for his actions - and he's delivering the GOP message to Congress.
I don't believe for one second that Moscow Mitch and the rest of the dim-bulbs in that party aren't 100% behind him - and none of them have anything to lose in this plan.
NO, it's NOT Tommy Tubs - it is the FUCKING GOP!

His English-as-a-second-language courses are probably not going as well as he had hoped, and he is still mired in his native Republicanese.

call every single Republican official in Alabama looking for Tuber, and tell them that the secretary of defense wants to talk to him. To the small degree that these people are capable of being embarrassed, embarrass them. Make it a topic of conversation in Alabama, to the extent that that is possible.
