MAGA Senator Offers Mind-Numbing Explanation For What's Really Making Trump Sick

After it was revealed last week that President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville attempted to blame it on "radicals."

There are some GOP members of Congress that tiptoe around MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, trying to avoid his notice and his wrath, remembering how he set his followers onto the U.S. Capitol and targeted former GOP Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger in the aftermath.

Then there are Trump's self-described MAGA minions, his ride or dies who will go to bat for him on every issue—always ready with an excuse for any reprehensible thing he says or does.


But Alabama MAGA Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville may have just achieved a new level of deflection.

After the White House announced the 79-year-old POTUS was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition among the elderly, Tuberville blamed "radicals" instead of Trump's age, weight, diet, and sedentary lifestyle.




As a WOKE citizen I'll take the blame for DEI in our society, but this is a bridge too far ..."After President Trump was diagnosed with a chronic vein condition, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) suggested the president’s health condition could be a result of his efforts in “fighting the radicals.”"

While speaking on WABC 7770 AM radio's The Cats Roundtable on Sunday, Tuberville alleged Trump’s poor circulation was caused by liberals not bowing to his whims instead of a lifetime of fast food and other poor health choices.

Tuberville told host John Catsimatidis:

"The pressure on somebody like President Trump right now, not just from outside entities … all over the world but also fighting the radicals in this country."

You can listen here:

The MAGA Senator added:

"Every day it’s almost like a fistfight. And he’s making progress."
"We just need to win more and more people on our side that understand what’s going on because our country has got one foot in the grave when it comes to our constitution and capitalism."

People were unsurprised by Tuberville's latest ludicrous claim in service to Trump’s ego.



Tuberville, the dumbest senator, says Trump health issues are exacerbated (blood pooling in legs, cankles) by ‘fighting the radicals’. Does Tuberville have congestive brain failure?

Vote Tuberville out. Voters have to have some self respect. He is ignorant, a racist, a Trump sycophant, liar. He blames Trump’s health problems on him “fighting radicals.” Too stupid for words.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) usually affects people over 50, with the risk going up the older a person gets. Overall, about 1 in 20 adults suffer from CVI.

CVI symptoms include:

  • achy or tired legs
  • burning, tingling or “pins and needles” sensation
  • cramping at night
  • discolored skin that looks reddish-brown
  • edema (swelling) in lower legs and ankles, especially after standing
  • flaking or itching skin on legs or feet
  • full or heavy feeling in legs
  • leathery-looking skin
  • ulcers (open sores), usually near ankles.

CVI happens when the valves in leg veins don’t work properly. It can be congenital or the result of a prior condition like deep vein thrombosis—a blood clot—or varicose veins.

Liberals and radicals are not known causes.

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
