Thought He Was Yapping About Mormons, But Tuberville's Literally Demonizing The Demonrats

He did say it in Utah.
Bryan Schott / Salt Lake Tribune:
‘We are losing our kids to a satanic cult,’ Sen. Tommy Tuberville warns during Utah campaign stop  —  The Alabama Republican has endorsed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Trent Staggs in the race to replace Utah Sen. Mitt Romney in Congress.
Alabama Republican U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville had a stark warning for the approximately 100 Utah GOP delegates who crowded into a Bluffdale warehouse to hear him speak on Friday afternoon: Malevolent supernatural forces are working to undermine America.
He's been everywhere.
“I’ve traveled all over the country — all 50 states — I’ve been in good places and bad places. The one thing I saw, we are losing our kids to a satanic cult,” Tuberville, who traveled to Utah to campaign for GOP U.S. Senate candidate Trent Staggs, warned.

[...]

Brandishing an upside-down pocket Constitution, Tuberville said the 2024 election wasn’t Republican vs. Democrat but “anti-American vs. American.”

“We’ve lost our moral values across the country. We’ve got to get back to the Constitution, and we have got to get back to the Bible. We’ve got to get God back in our country,” Tuberville said. “There’s not one Democrat that can tell you they stand up for God.”

Republican delegates ate it up as he careened from anti-transgender statements to discussion of immigration and chaos at the border to a prediction left-wing mobs are set to wreak chaos across the country this summer to help Joe Biden win reelection.

Tuberville even went so far as to claim the federal government has been corrupted to go after conservatives instead of criminals, which was seemingly an indirect reference to the hundreds of Trump supporters who were charged after attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“We’ve lost our Department of Justice. In most of the country, we don’t have a criminal justice system anymore. Nobody goes to jail, unless you’re an innocent person that really loves this country, then they’ll put you in jail,” Tuberville said. “We have never overcome a cult like we’re dealing with right now.”

The loudest boos from the GOP delegates on hand came when Tuberville and Staggs took swipes at Sen. Mitt Romney, who was the party’s presidential nominee just a dozen years ago.

“I’ve seen Mitt Romney make promises to Utahns that he didn’t deliver on,” Staggs said. “This is the choice you have before you. Do you want to replace Mitt Romney with Mitt Romney 2.0?”

During a brief interview with The Salt Lake Tribune following his speech, Tuberville doubled down when asked if his references to a satanic cult were bourne [sic] from political zeal.

“They’ve basically taken God out of everything that we’re doing. I don’t know any other way to express it other than it’s some kind of cult that they’re trying to push on our kids and all Americans,” Tubervill [sic] said. “We have got to get back to our moral values. If we can’t get back to that and let the Democrats continue to push this cult on us and take God away from our country, we’re going to have huge problems.”

Huge.
This reporter is a bit curious how "left-wing mobs ... set to wreak chaos" would help Biden be reëlected. Maybe burning Portland to the ground again will put him over the top. And who's in a cult again, Coach? No one on the left unquestioningly follows the demands of a great bronzed oaf who sports a combover.
