On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) responded to the hospitalization of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that the White House was not informed of by pointing out that Secretary Austin himself accused Tuberville of endangering military readiness by blocking group votes on military promotions before Austin went “AWOL” by undergoing surgery and being hospitalized without informing President Joe Biden.

Senator Tuberville, the concept of irony is lost on people like Austin, along with most of the Left.

Yep..without a doubt.
But this arsehole is a “protected” affirmative action, low-IQ plant.

Being where you are because of DEI or affirmative action puts you above the law.

Just ask Claudine Gay about her plagiarism and she will tell you that you are racist for asking about her cheating.

Not any other, he's a civilian appointee not active duty military. He can go AWOL.

More important, he's #2 on the nuclear chain. Not of approval, but if the President gives the order to launch the Secretary of Defense confirms it is the President giving the order and passes it down the chain of command. For days a US response to a launch against of would have been delayed for who knows how long until they found him, or used an alternate identity verification method which I hope is in place. Any delay in reaction could have been costly

No one knowing where he was is implausible. These folks are like royalty in that they have an army of aides and sycophants around them 24/7.

There are rumors that Austin was traveling secretly to Ukraine, and was injured in the big Russian missile strike on Ukraine January 2 - the same day he disappeared.

Only rumors.

After a prostatectomy, he should be up and around in 2-3 weeks. Let’s see what he looks like next week.

Secret Service had to know. Not their job to speak out. I’d have to think someone at DOD knew as well, and that there’s a procedure for his absence. But his top aides only seemed to know the tasks they were to take over, not his location. I’m sure they could have found out, which takes time. But this administration, who knows.

Apparently the POS is well enough to travel to Davos to attend the big World Enslavement Conference’s annual meeting where they all fly in and lick each other’s arses for a few days.

Yeah, but how’d that work out for you? Negotiations with nobody. Classic republican smarmy weakness.

Way to go, coach (Tuberville)!

One of the best things to come out of Alabama in quite a while.

A 70 year old obese negro with prostate cancer is not likely to regain health. He must resign immediately.
