Alabama senator and former school soccer coach Tommy Tuberville believes Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory in Tuesday’s mayoral election will flip New York Metropolis into an Islamic territory by 2029.
The Republican lawmaker, who’s hoping to turn into his state’s subsequent governor, made his unlikely prediction on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
“We just saw what happened in New York. We lost New York. It will be completely Muslim in three or four years,” Tuberville mentioned Friday. “That’s what they want.”
SEN. TOMMY TUBERVILLE (R): The previous guidelines don’t apply anymore. Sixty votes sounded nice as soon as, however that’s not the nation we stay in now.
Take a look at New York. It will likely be utterly Muslim in 3-4 years, all the things will probably be “free,” they usually’ll unfold to the remainder of the nation.… pic.twitter.com/yHWHRrUJ7G
Mamdani turned New York Metropolis’s first Muslim mayor by handily defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this week. He campaigned on a promise to attempt to make the town extra inexpensive.
It seems Tuberville believes that plan will probably be inviting to Muslims, who’re mentioned to account for roughly 9% of the town’s inhabitants.
“They’re gonna have everything free there for them and they’re just going to spread throughout the country,” the 71-year-old conservative claimed.
Tuberville’s hypothesis about the way forward for New York Metropolis adopted his declare that it could be time to vary the Senate filibuster rule blamed for the federal authorities shutdown that entered its thirty sixth day on Friday.
“We’re in a different country, Steve, this is a different time,” he informed Bannon.
Tuberville entered the Senate in 2021. He turned a family identify in Alabama by teaching the Auburn College soccer workforce from 1999 to 2008.
