We're up to Exhibit G now.
Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine because Russia is a “communist country” and he needs more farmland to feed his people, according to Sen. Tommy Tuberville. \
“He can’t feed his people,” the senator reportedly told the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce, according to 1819 News. “It’s a communist country, so he can’t feed his people, so they need more farmland.”
Putin, Russia’s president, said in a fiery speech Wednesday that Ukraine was an illegitimate country that belongs to Russia as rationale for the invasion -- not that Russians were starving and Moscow needed more farmland.

And then there’s Alabama freshman Senator Tommy Tuberville, who effortlessly seizes the low ground every time he opens his mouth. Elected while unable to name the three branches of government and believing we fought World War II against “Socialism”, the former football coach, brandishing a bachelor’s degree in PE, recently explained the pandemic situation to a reporter. “This virus is not going anywhere. I’m not saying it’s going to be around a long, long time, but we can’t say it’s not going to be here for a long, long time.”

NBC Sports Pro Football Talk, 4/29/2021
Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Al.), a former college football coach, tells TMZ.com that the players drafted over the next three days should “talk about what you know about” and avoid talking about politics.
“Nobody’s looking for an outspoken person,” Tuberville said. “We’re too divided as it is.” The former football coach is right.

“Everybody wants to make an opinion, and that’s fine,” Tuberville said. “But, I think, especially for young people to get involved in something that maybe they might not understand as much, I think they need to let people that, whatever they do for a living, justify it.” [emphasis added]Tommy Tuberville lives in an irony-free world.
4/13/2021 update, "Alabama's Tommy Tuberville has lead for dumbest US Senator of all time (exhibit D)", starts here.
Gains a little perspective after 3 months in office.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), who stuck closely to Trump during the 2020 election, said Republicans had "enough problems without fighting within ourselves."
"Sometimes you get people arguing, you know, amongst yourselves, and then you bring your whole team down. So that's pretty much how I think about this. ... We don't need arguing between teammates," Tuberville said.

Or that time Tuberville, the senator from Alabama, attempted to explain what the Voting Rights Act is:
"The thing about the Voting Rights Act is, you know, there's a lot of different things you can look at it as. Who is it going to help? What direction do we need to go with it? I think it's important that everything we do we keep secure. We keep an eye on it. It's run by our government," Tuberville said, according to the recording from a rotary club meeting.

“I haven’t even looked at what all she’s done,” he told CNN’s Ted Barrett in comments spotted by Business Insider. “I’d have to hold back a statement on that. Travel in this weather it’s been a little rough looking at any news or whatever.”

There's a lot this dumbass doesn't know.
Exhibit A (presented 12/22/2020)
Tommy is one of the traitorous 8 in the U. S. Senate who voted to overturn the election results.
On the campaign trail, Tuberville ducked interviews and declined debates, and now we all get to see why. With the job in the bag, this week, he gave an interview to Alabama Daily News in which he said so many stupid things that ADN’s site crashed from all the folks coming to gawk at it. “
You know, our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three branches of government,” Tuberville said. “It wasn’t set up that way, our three branches, the House, the Senate and the executive.”
Not only does the Constitution not prohibit one party from controlling all three branches of government (so, no, it’s not set up that way) but those aren’t the three branches of government.
