Senator Tommy Tuberville's office said the Alabama Republican's comments showed that he was 'skeptical' of the notion that the extremists are in the military.
office clarified the remarks, saying:"Sen. Tuberville's quote that is cited shows that he was being skeptical of the notion that there are white nationalists in the military, not that he believes they should be in the military ... He believes the men and women in uniform are patriots. [Defense] Secretary [Lloyd] Austin seems to think otherwise, subjecting them to extremism training as his very first act in office. That cost us four million man hours.
"I'm holding DoD nominations because the secretary of defense is trying to push through a massive expansion of taxpayer-subsidized abortions—without going through this body. Without going through," Tuberville said in March."Three months ago, I informed Secretary Austin that if he tried to turn the DoD into an abortion travel agency, I would place a hold on all civilian, flag and general officer nominees.
