When President Joe Biden delivered a speech Thursday at the Truman Civil Rights Symposium, he had a message for the country: Republicans are endangering military readiness.
Biden specifically took issue with Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who since February has single-handedly held up hundreds of promotions of generals and flag officers. Tuberville is protesting the military's post-Roe v. Wade policy of ensuring service members can access abortion care, regardless of which state they are assigned to.
“Something dangerous is happening,” Biden told the audience. “The Republican Party used to always support the military, but today they’re undermining the military. The senior senator from Alabama, who claims to support our troops, is now blocking more than 300 military operations with his extreme political agenda.”
