Tuberville: Biden, media skewing military-abortion holds: DOJ not elected, ‘I deserve a right to vote for people of Alabama’

Tommy Tuberville, Washington, D.C., July 13, 2023

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville debunks false media coverage and rhetoric from the Biden administration over his military nominations hold over abortion travel policy and vows to continue the fight. The U.S. Senator from Alabama says that with the issue of abortion aside, first and foremost the Biden administration and Department of Justice circumventing Congress and implementing the abortion travel policy, “is against the law.” Congress has never authorized the Pentagon to spend tax dollars to allow people to travel for an abortion, saying, “I campaigned very hard for two years to be elected in the Senate to be able to represent and give the people of Alabama an opportunity to vote on a controversial topic like this. And so you're not gonna go around me, you're gonna have to go through me and it's been interesting, they've come at me from all angles.” The former College Football Coach says he’s “been called everything as a coach, but my goodness, I've never been called a terrorist and a communist.” Saying, from the beginning he’s expressed his concerns over changing the abortion travel policy “with a memo instead of going through Congress, like they should.” Tuberville says, the media and the Biden administration derive their authorization from the DOJ. “First of all, I wouldn't trust them to give any answer to any question, I've seen how they've acted.  “The DOJ, weren't elected, they were appointed. And I was elected and I deserve a right to vote for the people of Alabama on this and so I'm not going to accept that excuse.”
