“That is a national security problem and a national security issue. And I really wish he would reconsider this,' Rep. Michael McCaul said.
The House Foreign Affairs chairman, Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, castigated Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Sunday for jeopardizing national security with his 9-month blockade of military promotions.
The Biden administration adopted the policy after the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade in June 2022, paving the way for Texas and other states to ban or severely limit access to abortion. Tuberville rejects assertions his holds have or will impact national security, pointing out that jobs are filled temporarily by lower ranked officers.
“I don’t support putting a hold on military nominations. I don’t support that,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in early May, when he first publicly distanced himself from Tuberville’s blockade. “We’re working this issue out in the National Defense Authorization,” he said, adding, “To hold up the top brass from being promoted and lower brass, I think is paralyzing our Department of Defense.”
