    Umm, no it isn't...

    Tuberville’s office provided AL.com with the full statement made to Politico:


    ”I don’t know if you’ve ever talked to President Trump – you don’t get many words in. But he didn’t get a chance to say a whole lot because I said ‘Mr. President, they just took the Vice President out, I’ve got to go.’ That’s pretty much what it was,” Tuberville’s office said.


    Politico reports Tuberville’s call came just around the time the president criticized Pence on his now-deleted Twitter account for not having “the courage” to stop the Biden certification.


    It is unclear if Tuberville’s call was the first time Trump was told about Pence’s evacuation from the chamber as protesters approached.


    House managers said the call with Tuberville, who voted against certifying the Biden results, took place around 2 p.m.


    Pence was evacuated at about 2:15 p.m. Trump tweeted his comments to Pence at 2:24 p.m.

    In your dreams sport. Tommy isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer and his statement is public record.

    you can spin it that way or you can say Trump knew Pence was evacuated before he tweeted. You are picking nits. It really doesn't matter because the people who stormed the capitol already knew they were going to do it before Trumps even made his speech. Everybody got links.

    Did you mean to reply to Frogleg instead? Otherwise, it looks like you're agreeing with me.

    timing is everything. You want to say one thing but the timeline says another. SPIN. Fess up and say we don't know.

    I don't care what @Frogleg said. Just replying to your post. We have a 10 minute gap between Pence leaving and Trumps posting.

    Color me extremely skeptical. Trump LOST the election. He'll never admit it. Instead he will blame everyone else. More proof he's a loser with a gigantic ego.

    I get it. Trumps lacks altruism. I do think he understands the concept of plausible deniability. He won't be hanged for this.

    Tell me in your own words what is substantially different between what the senator's office released and the link you provided.

    I think he lacks a lot more besides altruism. Also, I think his lawyers would have to explain the definition of plausible deniability to him.
