Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be arrested and sent to the infamous American torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. Mamdani’s crime? Calling indicted alleged war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an “architect of genocide,” responsible for a series of atrocities in the ongoing war on Gaza.
“Sooner or later,” Mamdani will “do something more stupid than what he’s done, where we will finally say enough is enough, go put the handcuffs on him … and send him to Gitmo,” Tuberville, a Republican, said, calling Mamdani a “thug.”
The issue is the low information voter isn’t hearing the reasonable thing at all. The media will spin Mamdami’s point (“mamdami hates jews!”), then top it off with this quote. So Tubeville sounds “strong” and “defending America”. They won’t ever mention Netanyahu at all, nor the genocide.
Low information voters won’t ever look farther than the spin anyway.
