The musician brother of Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has finally had enough.
Charles Tuberville, an Oklahoma-based singer, guitarist and songwriter, responded to recent remarks by the Alabama Republican in support of white nationalists serving in the military and questioning whether inner-city teachers knew how to read or write, reported AL.com.
“Due to recent statements by him promoting racial stereotypes, white nationalism and other various controversial topics, I feel compelled to distance myself from his ignorant, hateful rants,” Charles Tuberville posted on Facebook. “What I’m trying to say is that, I DO NOT agree with any of the vile rhetoric coming out of his mouth. Please don’t confuse my brother with me."
Charles Tuberville has played since the 1970s with a wide variety of blues, rock and roots music performers, including Leon Russell, Freddie King, Bobby Keys, Johnny Winter, Delbert McClinton, Jimmy Vivino, Kenny Neal and B.B. King.
