This is the best summary I could come up with:


Sen. Tommy Tuberville promoted a conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden is not in charge of the country.

Instead, he claimed, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and former president Barack Obama — along with “the Deep State” — are calling the shots.

“We’ve all known Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Obama’s been running the country, along with [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken and [National Security Advisor Jake] Sullivan… They’ve all been making the decisions.

Joe Biden hasn’t been making decisions… They’ve had total control, not the president,” the Alabama senator told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.

Tuberville is the Republican senator who single-handedly held up hundreds of military promotions for months — even over the objectives of some of his GOP colleagues — because he disagreed with the Pentagon’s policy of paying for military members’ travel to obtain abortion care.

When a news story made it seem like Biden’s White House specifically did not allow religious-themed Easter egg designs at its annual contest — while neglecting to note that, according to the American Egg Board, which supports the event, the language barring religious symbols from the designs has been in place for decades — Tuberville doubled-down on his claims, tweeting that the Democrats “are a Satanic cult.”


The original article contains 396 words, the summary contains 212 words. Saved 46%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Lol. So they think that former president Obama is running the Democrats, just like former president trump is running the Republicans

I’d call it projection if it wasn’t so braindead.

I sort of wish Obama had more influence. He tried to tell Biden not to run in 2020, which definately would’ve been a better outcome even if the Dems coalesced around a different centrist.

Yeah, they were never going to let that happen. They’d preferred Trump over Bernie. Would’ve been hilarious to see Chris Matthews freak out even more about Bernie death squads rounding people up and executing them though.

He asked Biden not to run in 2016, and he didn’t, then urged donors to support Hilary over Bernie. In 2020 he asked other candidates to drop out so Biden could run, and they did. I’d argue he has that influence you’re longing for and it hasn’t been that positive.

Biden running in 2020 was good. Would’ve been even better had he stuck to his word and not ran again this time

Biden was being pushed by a lot of insiders to run in 2016. He didn’t because Beau had recently died of cancer.

Unlike Hunter, Beau wasn’t a fuckup. He was the one who was supposed to be going places.

To be fair it is true that Schumer and Pelosi are running the country. It’s kind of their job being elected officials and all.
