As a Senate candidate, Tommy Tuberville pledged to “donate every dime” he made to Alabama veterans. As stevebenen writes, the fact that he hasn't yet followed through on his promise adds to the Republican's list of troubles.
It’s tempting to think the GOP senator’s reputation couldn’t get much worse. But this week, the Washington Posta campaign promise Tuberville made during his first and only campaign for statewide office: “I stand with our veterans and I’m going to donate every dime I make when I’m in Washington, D.C., to the veterans of the state of Alabama. Folks, they deserve it. They deserve it a lot more than most of us.
When the Post asked whether Tuberville has failed to keep his campaign promise to veterans, and whether he still intends to follow through, a spokesperson, “Coach is in the process of reforming the Foundation. He has already completely replaced the Board of Directors; he is resuming activities with the Foundation, and he will keep his promise to the veterans of Alabama.”
In other words, Tuberville hasn’t honored the pledge he made in 2020, but he apparently intends to. Given the senator’s recent track record, veterans charities in Alabama should probably exercise some caution before counting on any money from the controversial politician.
