HOW BIDEN HAS STRUGGLED TO KEEP DEMOCRATS TOGETHER ON GREEN ENERGY PUSH
A White House official told the Washington Examiner that abortion laws are not a factor in the review of the permanent location. "Joe Biden is undermining our readiness by politicizing the location of [U.S. Space Command]," Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville said on Monday."Multiple independent, nonpartisan government reviews have found Space Command headquarters would be best served in Huntsville. ... Two independent studies from the Department of Defense Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office nonetheless affirmed the process that ranked Alabama as the best choice for the Space Command.
"I think the only backlash would be there will be some disappointed folks in Alabama because they would love to have that facility," he explained."But I just don't see the administration making a decision on purely political grounds, like whether abortion is favored or not favored here or there. I would hope that they're professional enough to make national security the focus of how they make their decision.
