Tommy Tuberville’s Story About His Father Doesn’t Add Up

July 26, 2023 · 7:04 am ET · Leave a Comment

Washington Post: “For nearly a decade, Tuberville has described the World War II exploits of his father, Charles R. Tuberville Jr., in a relatively consistent way — that he was a tank commander, that he earned five Bronze Stars, that he participated in the D-Day landing and that he lied about his age to join the army. News organizations have tended to accept Tuberville’s version and either reprint or broadcast it.”

“Yet an examination of army histories, newspaper reports and other materials calls into question many of the claims put forth by Tuberville.”
