Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Sunday blasted GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville for his monthslong hold over hundreds of military promotions.
“We don’t need to be using military families as political pawns,” Ms. Haley said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “That’s a mistake … the military members and families — they sacrifice enough. They don’t need to be a pawn in Congress. But look at the political games that continue to play.”
Military leaders have accused Mr. Tuberville of Alabama of jeopardizing national security for blocking hundreds of promotions that would otherwise be passed in the Senate with unanimous consent.

True. I remember.
Michigan FReeper
“I hate showering with kickers, little foreigners who go out and say, ‘I’m gonna keeck a touchdown!’”
“GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville for his months long hold over hundreds of military promotions.”
Given the Biden regime in charge I suspect most of those promotions involve liberals being promoted. Regardless I doubt military families are affected by the freeze on promotions.
Yes, and also the Senate hasn’t had any votes since July and have taken numerous recesses (as they always do).
They don’t like to work. They like to do EVERYTHING by unanimous consent.
But they get REALLY pissed when some senator screws up their works.
He had a point.
You explained that perfectly.
Tuberville and a couple other GOP Senators want to clean out the Woke Generals and Admirals hiding in this Biden Crew.
The RINOs and the Democrats want to confirm the whole crew with one vote and no hearings.
Insane.
Betcha most of those promotions are political, not merit. Teh Halfrican started polluting the officer corps within weeks of his first inauguration, and this is still going on.
Aren’t you just excited to see Nimrata and her dwarf boys be interviewed, I mean a debate with Bushite Dana PeRINO at the Reagan Library in a couple weeks?
Tommy is one of the best ones. And I’m an Alabama fan.
Considering just who has allowed the current crop of senior (pretend to be) military leaders that are awaiting promotion, and adding to that their wokeness, methinks Senator Tuberville is doing us a great military service. Look at the jokes leading our military academies. Look at Biden’s White House collection of fools, idiots, marshmallow majors, and morons. Nope, never ever let these dorks be promoted until they totally renounce all this DEI excrement and the people that promoted it. Eff them and the sewage they eat.
I’m getting the suspicion that Nikki, like fellow South Carolinian Nancy Mace, is secretly pro-choice. They don’t like the abortion battle. They shrink from it.
And as we have seen over the past 50 years, if you’re wishy-washy on abortion, you’re washy-washy on just about everything else.
Does Haley not know that Senate democrats could bring these promotions up for approval but choose not to?
Stupid politicians are one thing but ignorant ones are even worse
If you ever listened to Rush, he always said that the GOP elites did not care about abortion and were embarrassed by the voters anti abortion stance.
All those years they paid lip service by pretending abortion was bad but they never did a thing about it.
Nikki, stay out of that business. Let Tube handle it. He knows what he’s doing. Stop listening to Karl Rove.
Yes. I think you’re correct. And I think they’re all SHOCKED that Roe vs Wade, thanks to Trump, who they worked to stop, was actually overturned.
As you said, they gave only lipservice. Trump got it done.
“Does Haley not know that Senate democrats could bring these promotions up for approval but choose not to?
Stupid politicians are one thing but ignorant ones are even worse”
I bet she knows, but likes to play along.
And conveniently, you’ll notice, Schumer is NEVER asked why he doesn’t call the roll. The media’s in on the game too.
Keep up the pressure tommy. Trust me, all those up for promotion are democrat party generals.

Nikki is not looking at the bigger picture.
“Given the Biden regime in charge I suspect most of those promotions involve liberals being promoted. “
Not most, 100 percent !
Teh fact that Brandon wants to promote them should be automatic vote against.
