Senate Republicans are starting to turn on Tommy Tuberville over his blockade of military promotions.
The Senate brought 61 individual nominees to the floor for a vote Wednesday night. Tuberville objected to all of them, tanking each officer’s promotion. He has repeatedly insisted that his blockade, a protest of the Department of Defense’s abortion policy, does not harm military readiness.
But his Republican colleagues were finally sick of hearing it. “No offense, but that’s just ridiculous,” Senator Dan Sullivan said. “He knows it. We all know it.”
Sullivan revealed that the military expects Tuberville’s blockade to affect 89 percent of all general officer positions, across all branches.
“Xi Jinping is loving this. So is Putin,” Sullivan said, referring to the presidents of China and Russia. “How dumb can we be, man?”
His first mistake is thinking he can bring any type of “life ethics” into the american military.
They are literally the walking talking example of telling you to screw off lol.
I mean seriously, they have triple the swear word vocabulary of the average person. Not even the happiest and purest hearted of some coast guard CO is going to listen to him.
The marines would eat him alongside their crayons and MRE wrappers.
