Republicans blast GOP Sen Tuberville over objection to military promotions
Fox News
Senate Republicans criticized Sen. Tuberville for blocking military nominations over the Pentagon's abortion policy, which has delayed hundreds of nominees.
But Tuberville objected to each one – despite a recent effort to force a vote to approve the Marine Corps' No. 2 leader after the service's top officer was hospitalized after a reported heart attack – due to the Department of Defense's controversial abortion policy that pays for some service members' abortion procedure expenses. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
"This is about the rule of law," Tuberville said on the floor. "That's what we're about in here. It's about the integrity of our military. It's about keeping politics out of military. I did not put it in the military, Joe Biden and Secretary Austin put politics in the military, and it's about the right to life."
