Florida governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis reiterated his support for Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Alabama) hold on military promotions Saturday.

“What the defense department is doing is outside the law,” DeSantis said while speaking at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition Town Hall. “They are breaking, violating the law by funding abortion tourism with tax dollars.”

Tuberville’s monthslong holding of over 300 military promotions is in protest against a Pentagon policy reimbursing expenses for service members traveling across state lines for abortions.

    If it was a Democrat doing these holds, DeSantis would be screaming bloody murder about our lack of military readiness.

    bloody murder about our lack of military readiness.

    I mean this isn't hurting our military readiness nearly as much as everyone seems to think. They should focus on how he is using this to try to harm individual soldiers access to healthcare.

    I live in Alabama, and we were so dumb to elect a football coach for government. I didn't vote for him but I saw it coming when he was running.

    Of course DeSantis supports the third senator from his state.
    /s

    Tubberville no longer lives or does business in Alabama. How so many of my fellow citizens saw this guy and voted for him over Doug Jones I'll never understand...or forgive.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Florida governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis reiterated his support for Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Alabama) hold on military promotions Saturday.

    “What the defense department is doing is outside the law,” DeSantis said while speaking at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition Town Hall.

    Tuberville’s monthslong holding of over 300 military promotions is in protest against a Pentagon policy reimbursing expenses for service members traveling across state lines for abortions.

    DeSantis’s Saturday comments reiterate his previous stance on the issue, showing he continues to back Tuberville’s protest despite its lengthy timeline.

    In July, DeSantis criticized the policy when talking to radio host Hugh Hewitt.

    “No, I don’t,” DeSantis said when asked by Hewitt if he thinks Tuberville should release his hold.

    This is proof that the illuminati does exist. There are so many idiotic morons in positions of power that the best explanation is that there are rich inbred bloodlines that place and protect these dipshits. Fuck the aristocracy! They are inbred! Their minds can not be trusted.
