Tommy Tuberville slams Dems for 'demonizing men' after AOC accuses GOP of 'radicalizing young boys'

MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA: Sen Tommy Tuberville slammed Democrats on Friday, October 17, for "demonizing men" after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said why she believed Republicans have more success garnering support among young men.

During CNN's 'Town Hall' on Wednesday, the Democratic congresswoman said the Republicans can "radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys, in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires a domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them."

Tommy Tuberville says Democrats spent last 20 years spreading hate among young men

Sharing his views on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's remarks, Tommy Tuberville told Fox News, "When I was coaching, I taught my players that this is the greatest country in the world, and if you work hard, the sky is the limit for what you can achieve — no matter what you look like."

"Unfortunately, woke Democrats have spent the past 20 years telling young men they are 'racist', 'sexist', and 'toxic' simply for being men," he expressed. 

Tuberville continued, "But it didn’t stop there. Democrats tried to prevent men from getting jobs just because of their skin color and also tried to baselessly cancel them during the ‘Me Too’ movement."

"It’s no wonder that more than half of the young men in this country voted for President Trump in the 2024 election. If Democrats don’t stop demonizing men, they may never win an election again," the senator added.

Interestingly, a September report from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) showed that multiple indicators "point to substantial Republican gains among Gen Z," particularly mentioning that Democratic registration among young men went down significantly compared to young women.

The report also showed that Democrat registration among young White men, historically around 49 percent, fell to 29 percent.

Similarly, a Fox News voter analysis for the 2024 election showed that 55 percent of men voted for President Donald Trump. 53 percent of men aged 18-44 and 57 percent of men over age 44 voted for Trump.

Furthermore, The New York Times revealed in May that the Democrats are spending $20 million on a study examining how to speak to "American men" after losing ground with the demographic during the 2024 election cycle.

AOC pushes back when asked if she will challenge Chuck Schumer in primary

During CNN's 'Town Hall' on Wednesday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders pushed back when Kaitlan Collins asked the Democratic representative if she would challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a primary.

Collins asked Ocasio-Cortez whether Schumer should be worried about a primary challenge from her. Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders soon raised their voices as they criticized its premise and took aim at Republicans.

The New York congresswoman replied, "I mean, no, because I don't think this is about anything… This is what we're talking about!" Sanders interjected and said, "Let me jump in on this one."

"That's exactly what we're talking… we have a country that is falling apart! We had a housing crisis, a health care crisis, an education crisis, massive income and wealth inequality, corrupt campaign finances, and the media says, ‘Are you going to run? What are you going to run for?’ Nobody cares!" he added.

However, Collins said that Vice President JD Vance and President Trump have recently questioned whether Ocasio-Cortez might challenge Schumer in 2026 while reacting to the senator’s claim that the media focuses more on potential campaigns than national issues.

Sanders said that Vance and Trump are raising this question to "deflect attention away from the real issues" before adding what he felt were the main issues impacting Americans today.

"We're living in the richest country in the history of the world, right? All right, you tell me why we're the only nation not to guarantee health care to all people. The only nation not to guarantee paid family and medical leave, why we have a $7.25 an hour minimum wage, why we have 800,000 people sleeping out on the street," the Vermont senator added.
