Tommy Tuberville made a name for himself as a college football coach, serving as the head coach of Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas Tech and Cincinnati before ultimately retiring and pursuing a career in politics. Now, he’s a United States Senator representing the state of Alabama – and he was the subject of a pretty brutal message from United States President Joe Biden this week.
During a speech this week, Joe Biden threw some shade at Tommy Tuberville for his flip-flopping on some recent legislation.
“Just last week, we announced our plan to bring affordable high-speed Internet to end a decade of unaffordable and inaccessible Internet to every home in America – every small business in America,” Biden said. “To no one’s surprise, it’s bringing along some converts – people strenuously opposed voting against it when we had this going on. They were [saying] ‘this is gonna bankrupt America.'”

Biden then singled out Tuberville.
“There’s a guy named Tuberville – Senator from Alabama. He announced that he strongly opposed the legislation, and now he’s hailing its passage,” Biden said. “Here’s what he said: ‘It’s great to see Alabama receive critical funds to boost ongoing broadband efforts.”
It’s certainly a comical move from Biden to poke fun at one of his political opponents. But Tuberville should probably be used to a little trash talk from his days as a college football coach.
