Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has attracted numerous critics in Washington and the administrative state as a result of his principled stance against the Pentagon's "illegal abortion policy" and the U.S. military's various woke encumbrances. On Monday, the former head of the CIA made clear he was among them.
Whereas some of those critical of Tuberville's refusal to approve military nominations en masse have attempted character assassinations, former CIA Director Michael Hayden appears to have a different kind of assassination in mind.
What's the background?
In the wake of the Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling, the Department of Defense implemented a policy and corresponding programs whereby taxpayer money would be spent on abortion in the military far beyond what is permitted under federal law. Accordingly, the Pentagon will now fund travel for service members and their dependents seeking to exterminate their unborn children and also provide them with paid time off.
