BREAKING: A top Senate Democrat levels a deadly serious accusation at MAGA Senator Tommy Tuberville and says that he is directly responsible for the Marine Corps commandant's recent medical emergency.
This is the kind of thing that could destroy a politician's career...
According to Senate Armed Services Chair Jack Reed, Tuberville's petulant refusal to confirm top military promotions — which he is using to demand that the Pentagon repeal crucial abortion policies — could be partially responsible for the hospitalization of General Eric Smith, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Tuberville's political stunt has forced several top military officer to do multiple jobs, which is in turn driving some of them to the point of exhaustion. General Smith was hospitalized over the weekend for an apparent heart attack.
"One of the reasons, I think contributed to his condition was he was doing two jobs at once," said Senator Reed. "I’ve read where he was working from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. As a result, if he had, as is normal, an assistant, he could switch off."
Reed said the incident with General Smith shows "the fallacy and the danger" of Tuberville’s anti-abortion tactics.
Clearly, Tuberville believes that pandering to his far-right religious voters is more important than keeping America safe. He is sabotaging our military to score points with the theocrats.
Tommy Tuberville is a disgrace to America.
