Republicans Pressure Senator Tuberville to Back Down from Military Hold Ups | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is refusing to back down from his decision to hold up more than 300 military promotions over the Defense Department's abortion travel policy. Growing pressure continues and not just from Democrats. Now several Republican colleagues and leaders are adding to the pressure. Several Republican Senators, including Leader Mitch McConnell, have openly criticized Tuberville's strategy as a mistake. Some are urging him to narrow his holds to Biden nominees, who make policy decisions and let other military promotions go through. Senator Tuberville says it's the DOD who is breaking the law when it changed its policy. Tuberville says, "Listen to me, I'm not changing my mind. I mean we're here. It's been seven months. We'll be here same time next year if they don't get off their high horse and start confirming these people." He says the burden to get these nominations done is on the majority in the Senate, and that's Democrats.
