Former CIA Director and retired Gen. Michael Hayden seemed to call for the death of Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) Monday night.
Quoting a Twitter post that asked, "Should Tommy Tuberville be removed from his committee? Yes or No?" Hayden wrote, "How about the human race?"
Tuberville has been bullied by Senate Democrats and know-nothing pundits since last December over his opposition to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's creation of an "abortion tourism benefit." As Streiff explained:
In July 2022, Lloyd Austin declared that the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs vs. Jackon Women's Health adversely impacted military readiness because if pregnant members of the Armed Forces couldn't kill their kids, they couldn't do their jobs. To do this, Austin created a program that allowed military women seeking abortion to be reimbursed for travel expenses and take up to 21 days off — that is not charged against their annual leave balance — for the purpose of having an abortion. On the other hand, if one of your parents dies and you wish to go to the funeral, you pay your own way and get charged for leave. This is a clear violation of federal laws that forbid using federal funds for abortion. In December 2022, Tuberville announced that he would place a "hold" on all senior military promotions.
All the hold does is prevent a few senior military officers from being confirmed in new positions by "unanimous consent." This means each nomination will get a cloture vote before proceeding to a floor vote.
Unlike many Republicans, Tuberville has remained steadfast in his opposition and continues to place holds on senior military promotions. Hayden's retired. What does he care? Or is Tuberville blocking nominees for whom Hayden greased the skids?
We know that Hayden doesn't like Republicans, regardless. In August 2022 he also showed his a** on Twitter when he agreed with a Financial Times editor who tweeted:
I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous & contemptible than today’s Republicans. Nothing close.
Hayden's comment at that time?
I agree. And I was the CIA Director.
Of course, Hayden was one of the dishonest intelligence community veterans who signed a letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation, though he knew full well that it was not.
Former USAF Flag Officer & Director of CIA & NSA suggests a sitting US Senator should be assassinated. 👇🏻Despicable.
This is conduct unbecoming a former military officer & should be investigated as such. Completely unacceptable.
Apologize & retract, General. https://t.co/4D8Qp6uBpw— Leslie McAdoo Gordon 🇺🇸 (@McAdooGordon) October 10, 2023
Yes, his conduct should be investigated. Something is really off with this guy.
Amen!
Do we still have Gitmo? Who is incarcerated there?
One of the few that isn’t actually a leftist.
p
Disgusting!
Hayden was another incompetent Bush appointee with a loud, stupid mouth.
Bttt
Trade him to Ham-ass for an American hostage they hold. He’d be one less hostage the IDF would need to rescue. Just sayin’.
No news here just another cia criminal doing what major league criminals do.
His clearance should be yanked in the first week of Trump’s 2nd term.
If the CIA had been around in April 1775, they would have missed the approach of British troops to Lexington and Concord, and they would have confiscated all our arms.
If Gen. Washington and the FFs had relied on the CIA, we would still be flying the Union Jack.
He is PURE EVIL!
If we had tens of millions more Americans paying FICA tax, Social Security would be in sound shape.
Baby murder supporters lack proper respect for human life.
I saw hayden at a Catholic fundraiser once. He ia clearly not Catholic.
We can certainly make do with the flag officers we have. Besides, if the military-aged Red Chinese, Islamic Repubic, and Mexican Cartel soldiers do hit us with an internal attack then we can simply promote the few warfighters left in the military who are languishing at O-4 and O-5 because they're not politically correct.
I have lost all respect for the leadership of our military. I do not trust them and do not support any further funding until the entire leadership has been purged again.
The CIA is drunk with power and no accountability. Look at that lying fool, Brennan.
This man Hayden sounds like a bit of a clown.
As proven last week Tuberville isnt actually holding anything up. Its mere political theater from all sides….
