Tom Tuberville is not a very bright man.
"I heard some things ... about race & things that he wanted to mix into the military ...Our military is not an equal-opportunity employer ... We're not looking for different groups .. We don't want to single-handedly destroy our military from within..."
1. The military literally is an equal-opportunity employer. Literally.
2. If "not looking for diverse groups" you're looking based on race, so not merit.
3. Clear he has no clue how racist this sounds.

Seems to fit the Trumpist movement (and even many U.S. conservatives who revile Trump):
Part of core Trumpism is the idea that society (as pushed by The Left) has become polite or sensitive to a degree that's impractical, false, hypocritical & dangerous. That right-thinking people know in their hearts these impolite harsh "truths" are reality and no one should have to put up with others bullshit or self delusion.
Tuberville probably thinks he's just telling it like it is.
