Senator Tuberville Claims Mamdani and Muslims Are ‘Trying to Take Over’ the Country: ‘Send Him Home’ 

 

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said a Muslim has no business being mayor of New York, and added that Muslims are “trying to take over” the U.S.

If elected next month, Democratic state Rep. Zohran Mamdani would become the first Muslim mayor of the nation’s largest city. Mamdani was born in Uganda to Indian parents, who moved him to the U.S. when he was seven. The political upstart pulled off an upset in June by defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo for the Democratic nomination. Cuomo has since mounted a third-party bid and is vying with Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa to overcome Mamdani’s big lead in the polls.

Appearing on Monday’s Kudlow on Fox Business, Tuberville was asked if he is “ready” for a Muslim mayor of New York.

“Are you ready for a Muslim mayor of New York City?” Larry Kudlow asked.

“No,” Tuberville replied.

“Looks like Mamdani’s gonna do it,” Kudlow said. “What do you think, Senator?”

Tuberville responded by accusing Mamdani of wanting to implement Sharia and Muslims of trying to take over the country:

I think we oughta pack him up and send him home. My God, we do not need that anywhere in this country, especially New York. You know, it’s– what a great city that was. But he’s gonna manage to bring it all the way down. Right now, it’s headed that direction with, you know, no law enforcement and all those crazy things that the Democrats are coming up with.

But, you know, we’ve got a huge problem in this country, Larry, with Sharia law and the Muslims trying to take over all the areas in our country. And so, I hope we wake up and smell the roses.

“Yep,” Kudlow agreed. “Well, we’ll see how it plays out. Senator Tommy Tuberville, thank you, Sir. As always, we appreciate your wisdom.”
