Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville said in a recent interview that he believes the US currently has “the weakest military that we’ve had in probably a year in my lifetime.”
Tuberville made his comments Monday evening after Newsmax’s Eric Bolling mentioned the US military’s spending on diversity training.
While Tuberville piled on President Joe Biden and his administration for what he considers to be a “self-inflicted” disaster, he didn’t mention the outsized role effect he’s had in 2023 on the nation’s defense forces.
Following the Pentagon’s decision to update its policies to allow service members to get reimbursed for out-of-state expenses for abortion care, Tuberville has singlehandedly prevented hundreds of military officers from getting promoted via a vote on the Senate floor.
Senate Republicans in recent weeks have repeatedly attempted to push through more individual votes on the chamber floor, only to be prevented more than 60 times by the former football coach.
Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, Mike Lee, and JD Vance, successfully lobbied Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to oppose the resolution.
