Tuberville Blocks Hundreds of Military Promotions While Decrying Weakened Armed Forces
- Tuberville said the US military is the weakest it's been in his lifetime, blaming Biden and "wokeness" infiltrating the ranks
- Tuberville has personally blocked hundreds of military officer promotions in response to abortion healthcare policy updates
- For months, Tuberville only allowed 3 individual promotion votes, departing from tradition of mass confirmations
- Democrats unanimously advanced a resolution to confirm stalled promotions, but its passage requires GOP senator support
- Tuberville neglected to mention his outsized role in preventing military officer promotions when criticizing military weakness
