3d ago00:01:17Tap to summarizeSenator Tommy Tuberville unleashed fiery rhetoric on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a recent appearance on “The Benny Johnson Show,” calling him a “thug” and warning he’ll soon cross a line so extreme he’ll end up at Gitmo.

The Senator expressed disbelief that enough New Yorkers would support such a figure, seeing it as a sign of national decline and predicting public backlash will eventually force action — possibly even arrest.
