Tuberville's Tax Return Fumble & Campaign Lawfare in Alabama (w/ Kyle Whitmire)

The Alabama Politics This Week crew is joined by Kyle Whitmire to break down the disturbing trend of political campaigns threatening lawsuits against journalists simply for reporting the truth. From Barry Moore's intimidating legal letter to Tommy Tuberville's disastrous tax return fumble heading into Friday's ALGOP hearing, the panel explores what happens when candidates weaponize the courts to silence the press. Plus, a deep dive into the Ken McFeeters vs. Tuberville showdown and why the rules only seem to apply to some people. --- CHAPTERS 0:00 Into 1:21 Campaign Lawsuits & Lawfare in Alabama Races 4:33 The Barry Moore Threatening Letter Breakdown 10:48 Strategy for Journalists in the Trump Era 18:41 Tuberville's Tax Return Fumble & Friday's Hearing --- RESOURCES & SOCIALS Listen to Alabama Politics This Week anywhere you get podcasts. 🌐 Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/alpoliticsthisweek.com 🌐 X/Twitter: x.com/alathisweek 🌐 Facebook: facebook.com/alathisweek 🌐 TikTok: tiktok.com/@alpoliticsthisweek 🌐 Instagram: instagram.com/alathisweek --- SUPPORT THE SHOW 👍 Like this video and SUBSCRIBE! ⭐ Rate us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. 📧 Email questions/voice notes to [email protected] with your name and city/county. --- ABOUT OUR SPONSOR Alabama Politics This Week is sponsored by Wind Creek Hospitality, the gaming and hospitality entity for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, with properties across the U.S. and Caribbean — including Alabama — offering entertainment, dining, hotels, and amenities.
