Phil Collins provided the perfect soundtrack for this tumbling Republican senator who had mocked Joe Biden for falling
Tommy Tuberville, the Republican senator from Alabama, has repeatedly claimed that Joe Biden is too old to run again, while backing 77-year-old Donald Trump for the post.
Back in July, when the President was in Europe visiting NATO leaders, the senator mocked the then 79-year-old president for tripping, stating –
“‘I’m afraid he’s going to fall down every time I turn on television’”
His remark has now come back to bite him after a clip of his own very public stumble went viral.
Oh no, Tommy Tuberville fell hard. pic.twitter.com/mecMmNpCFI

He was obviously not badly hurt, apart from his pride. It was too tempting for tweeters to resist giving him a taste of his own medicine.

UNFIT FOR OFFICE!
He’s clearly too old and frail to be a Senator.
Vote him out. https://t.co/mIcSMMjLnu

Almost inevitably, his fall got the Phil Collins treatment, and it works beautifully.
