Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville was referring to Mamdani’s swearing-in on a Quran. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has documented a history of anti-Muslim statements from him.
Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville from Alabama posted on social media: “The enemy is inside the gates” upon learning that Zohran Mamdani became the first mayor of New York City to be sworn in using a Quran.
The Quran is the primary religious text of Islam, akin to the Christian Bible. Mamdani is the first Muslim mayor of New York, the nation’s largest city.
Tuberville, a conservative football coach-turned-politician, has a history of making anti-Muslim statements, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
Tuberville is such a stereotypical redneck moron… Just looking into his eyes makes you feel like you’re looking at a 15W light bulb in an empty fridge.
Clearly Mamdani should have been sworn in on the John Adams Quran.
Nah the Jefferson Quran with all the miracles and references to Allah removed.
If Tuberville is against it, there’s a near 100% change this is good for average working people and bad for billionares.
Yes, enemy is inside the gates working a POTUS.
This last time Trump didn’t swear on a damn thing.
The enemy has been inside the gates since 2016. As if this year- it’s calling from inside the house.
Not the colored one, though. The white one.
They were inside before. Trump only sped up the process, the evil was brooding since forever.
Apart from this Alabama douche being an asshole, the concept of swearing on a book of fables needs to go away.
But, it’s always funny to me when Christians and Muslims fight over their religions, it’s like two 3 year olds arguing which power ranger is more powerful…
“My dad could beat up his dad”
- kid with the same shitty dad who neither have met
He’s right… but wrong person…his dumbass is the enemy of the people
His entire state has less people than NYC.
If he keeps to his Oath, he can swear on whatever book he wants.
Maybe that is why US politicians lie so much, the bible is the problem /s
Personally if I ever need to take an oath, I am doing it on a copy of the 7 tenets of the Satanic Temple.
That or Small Gods by Terry Pratchett.
If I’m ever sworn in to something, I want it to be on a VHS recorded copy of the “Drumhead” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. If that isn’t available, “Measure of a Man” is also acceptable.
Why VHS?
Because it feels right.
When we swore an oath to protect The Constitution upon enlistment in the military, we didn’t use anything. Probably a good idea since I doubt that every MEPS branch wants to have several hundred holy books on hand, JIC.
Cry some more ya fucking snowflake.
Tuberville, you’ve been here all along

Why do we talk about Alabama like it’s a serious place?
They are very proud but objectively…
Alabama is rated at the top for businesses to move in, because they openly fuck over their citizens. They’re rated at the bottom 5 for quality of life and healthcare. 1 in 5 kids in Alabama live in poverty. They have the highest in infant mortality rate, higher than most countries.
Also high crime areas. Not to mention they continue to cut the budget for their environmental funding.
Alabama is pretty much a pro-business, anti-life state.
Tommy Tuberville, You don’t want to mess with The Zohran.
