'Dumbest man in the Senate': Tommy Tuberville mocked after Trump remarks on Fox Business

A GOP senator is being torched online after he tried to reassure people that the Trump administration knows what it's doing.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) was asked during an appearance on Fox Business how he feels about Trump's embattled deal to end the Iran war.

"I trust President Trump. I trust Vice President Vance," Tuberville said. "We don't need to listen to anybody up here on Capitol Hill. Let's trust these two."

The online reactions to him turning on his Capitol Hill colleagues in favor of the White House were fierce, however.

"America's worst senator, showing exactly why he's unfit for the office he holds," wrote Gregg Nunziata, a prominent right-wing lawyer and former Senate GOP counsel.

"Dumbest man in the Senate offers glowing endorsement," summed up John Podhoretz, the editor of the conservative Commentary Magazine.

"Congress is the only branch of government where members regularly say their job is to do nothing, just sit around like a potted plant," snarked Jeet Heer, a writer for The Nation.

"Idiot," wrote national opinion columnist Sophia A. Nelson. "Go back to Alabama."

"Why even have a Senate, Tuberhead?" asked Rex Bossert, the former editor in chief of the National Law Journal.
