The Alabama Senator told Newsmax that Democrats who want to break his hold would be better off focusing on the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East that "their side, the Democrats, and Joe Biden have created."

This is the sort of partisan hackery one expects in the House of Representatives, not in the U.S. Senate. Alabama had Doug Jones, but they chose this putz instead and now the country is paying the price.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who has been blocking more than 300 military promotions because of his opposition to travel allowances for members of the military seeking abortions, told Newsmax Thursday that Democrats who are working on a proposal to circumvent his actions would be better off focusing on the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East that "their side, the Democrats, and Joe Biden have created."

"They want to circumvent the rules in the Senate," the Alabama Republican told Newsmax's "Newsline." "The only power you have in the minority is to be able to have holds on something to get the attention of the other side, whether it's Republican or Democrat."

But now, "they know I mean business when it comes to abortion in the military," Tuberville added while accusing Democrats of wanting to change the Senate's policy on legislative holds "midstream."

"They didn't give the American taxpayers an opportunity to have their representatives vote on this," he said. "That's all I want is a vote."
