GOP Senate Winner Tommy Tuberville Blitzed Over Sports Defense Of Trump Tantrums

The election results are out of control. It’s like the whistle has blown, the game is over, and the players have gone home, but the referees are suddenly adding touchdowns to the other team’s side of the scoreboard.

I’d challenge that as a coach, and @realDonaldTrump is right to challenge that as a candidate.

The American people deserve transparency and to know the integrity of our votes are preserved. #Election2020

It’s like one team was up 7-6 in the second quarter and claimed game was over and nothing else counted.

This is the single worst football analogy I've ever seen https://t.co/lhhDubC6WT

This is inaccurate.

What the president is doing would be like if Coach Tuberville discussed the 2008 Auburn football season by only talking up his 5 victories and pretended the 7 losses -- including that loss to Alabama, hooboy -- didn't happen. https://t.co/4OycGQe1bS

No Tommy. It is more like when you went up 7-0 on Oklahoma in 2010 and then 45 more points came in for Oklahoma but you cried to the refs that those points shouldn’t be allowed because you were winning when they happened. Then you lost 45-7.

No, it's like your side scored once and tried to declare the game over before the other team got a chance.

No, it’s like the game has 20 minutes left and one of the coaches is like, “I think it’s over! Call it!” And you know that.

Sir, this is a baseball game. It’s not over till it’s over. https://t.co/ULtz2B18k1

The votes are being counted. It’s an election. This may be the first one you’ve ever paid attention to but they all work like this.
Legal observers from both parties have been in counting rooms the entire time.

This is blatant disinformation. Otherwise known as cheating. https://t.co/CQzTeNcbq1

No it’s not.. it’s like Donald winning at half time, then deciding the game is over once the other team scores. Every vote counts. He can’t just claim the win, take the ball and run home.
