Tuberville's military hostage-taking could waste 89 days of Congress' time; even the GOP is over it
Tommy Tuberville, the amazing alliterative Alabama senator who doesn’t appear to live in Alabama and doesn’t know what the three branches of government are, has been waging a one-man crusade against the U.S. military on behalf of his dear friends in the blastocyst community.
For months now, the former college football coach has been unilaterally blocking hundreds of military nominations and promotions in an effort to force a vote on the Pentagon’s current abortion policy, which Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued last October to guarantee our service members’ access to reproductive health care services.
Tuberville doesn’t like that policy, so he’s riding the recent GOP hostage-taking craze into a hell of our own making, sacrificing our military’s readiness in exchange for a love coupon guaranteeing a free hug from Jesus, redeemable upon death by natural causes, North Korean dinghy invasion, or spontaneous Russian bayonet face-stabbing.
