As the attacks on Sen. Tommy Tuberville escalated this week, the Alabama Republican appeared even more determined to undo a new Defense Department policy allowing U.S. servicemembers and their families to obtain taxpayer-funded abortions.
Speaking on the Senate floor Wednesday, Tuberville rebuffed yet another Democrat attempt to approve nearly 200 promotions for military generals and flag officers. It was the third time Tuberville stymied Democrats—and he showed no sign of relenting.
“I will stay here until hell freezes over. I am not going to be intimidated by a campaign of selective outrage,” Tuberville said. “I gave the Pentagon fair warning. They chose to go forward with this policy …This was the Biden Administration’s choice. I’m keeping my word.”
This is a developing story.
