Three top Pentagon officials have called on Sen. Tommy Tuberville to stop blocking military promotions over his opposition to the Pentagon’s abortion policy.
Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth and Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that Mr. Tuberville’s “blanket and unprecedented” six-month hold on military nominees is targeting an abortion policy that is “critical and necessary to meet our obligations to the force.
In their letter, the leaders wrote that this hold has caused mental and financial stress for those in leadership positions. On Saturday, Mr. Tuberville posted on X, formerly Twitter, blaming the hold-up on the Biden administration, who he said, “injected politics into the military and imposed an unlawful abortion policy on the American taxpayers. I am trying to get politics out of the military.”
