The Pentagon on Tuesday blasted Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) for single-handedly blocking the promotion of 300 military members, likening the holdup to being unprepared on the football field.
Tuberville, the former head coach for Auburn University, among others, pledged to block all of President Joe Biden's military appointments and promotions in protest of the Pentagon's policy that allows service members to be reimbursed if they need to travel out of state to get an abortion.
Ryder's comments come on the heels of the secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force calling on Tuberville to stop his"dangerous hold."
