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.”

    Tommy Tuberville’s smell test on who should be sent to gitmo:

    • Trying to help the taxpayers
    • Trying to suffer less in life
    • Anyone who has ever looked at a rainbow flag
    • Anyone committing crimes so heinous that Tuberville becomes scared that you’ll uncover his fetishes

    Getting threatened with gitmo by Tuberville means there’s a 75% chance that you’re pretty cool.
