Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) — leading Alabama gubernatorial candidate
Transcript: Sen. Tommy Tuberville (9-23-2026)
SCENE: Ask a Pol founder Matt Laslo’s been staking out the Capitol’s basement all morning on a slow day on Capitol Hill when he spots Sen. Tommy Tuberville and an aide walking toward a bank of elevators.
ICYMI — Ask a Pol founder Matt Laslo’s write-up…
After they greet each other, Laslo hops on as they ride an elevator up to Tuberville’s office in the historic Russell Senate Office Building. He then proceeds to ask the leading Alabama gubernatorial candidate what he makes of the news that Vice President JD Vance’s fraud task force was booting 750,000 people out of Obamacare (aka, the Affordable Care Act).
Matt Laslo: “Do you think JD Vance did a good job?”
Sen. Tommy Tuberville: “Yeah. I mean, good job; this is the first group that ever tried to clean it up. We’re losing hundreds of millions of dollars a day to fraud. We can’t afford it.”
Laslo: “Some people say your party’s, you know, punishing the ‘least of these?’”
Tuberville: “Punishing what?”
Laslo: “‘The least of these’ — biblical reference.”
*Bible Reference:“’Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” — Matthew 25:40
Tuberville: “The least of these?”
Laslo: “The least of these — the poor people — that they’re getting punished.”
Tuberville: “Well, we’re all getting punished. We’re all in the same boat.”
Democrats wept.
