Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro accused Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of aiding communist regimes by holding up military nominations.
Del Toro, who was born in Cuba, suggested that this action not only impacts morale in the military but empowers America’s enemies in "communist and other autocratic regimes."

"You know, Jake, for somebody, and forgive me, for someone who was born in a communist country, I would have never imagined that actually one of our own senators would actually be aiding and abetting communist and other autocratic regimes around the world," Del Toro said. "This is having a real negative impact and will continue to have a real negative impact on our combat readiness. And that’s what the American people truly need to understand."
