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.

AND right after they retire with cushy pensions they go work for Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop, etc., etc. for a few years CALLING IN ALL THEIR OLD MILITARY FAVORS!!!!
Should be a choice, pension or Defense Contractor NOT BOTH!!!!
The Democrats never get credit for the political games that they start. Thanks, Nikki for playing the role of useful idiot.
I know couple of them and that's not true. There are exceptions. But... that's beside the point. The point is holding up woke business as usual in the Pentagon.
For the record, I will NEVER vote for a woman. Period.
any ticket with her name on it will get ZERO electoral votes in the south ... ZERO!
Haley is awful.
RINOs love her.
She was made an ambassador to minimize the harm she could do.
This reminds me of how Chris Christie as Governor of the neighboring state to NY said the Ground Zero Mosque was being used as a political football in 2010.
Tuberville is the 300. Godspeed motherfkr! Save our dying military.
Sick of Nick.
That makes no sense. Trump didn't have to hire her it all, if he didn't think she was great, so obviously he thought she was great.
Sometimes managers have to put people in positions in order to keep them out of the way. Romney went begging for a job, and his public rejection was enough to deal with him. Haley needed different treatment.
Turnabout is fair play?
I have been used as a pawn for most of my life. So this just seems like the status quo.
