Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Tommy Tuberville released statement as he said General Michael Hayden called for political motivated assassination.
“This statement is disgusting and it is repugnant to everything we believe in as Americans,” Tuberville said in a statement Tuesday. “Given General Hayden’s long career in Washington, he must have known that, by making such a statement, he was committing a serious crime.”
Hayden, 78, spent 39 years in the Air Force, including stints as commander of the Air Intelligence Agency and head of the Joint Command and Control Warfare Center. He served as CIA director for three years under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Our nation is at such risk right now and there is almost zero trust in any of our government institutions. This lack of trust is exactly because of arrogant A$$e$ like Hayden.’
Logan Dobson, of Republican consulting firm Targeted Victory, posted: ‘Them: The media and the deep state are not out to get Republicans, that’s a conspiracy theory
‘CNN National Security Analyst And Former Head Of The CIA Michael Hayden: Tommy Tuberville should be assassinated.’
Tuberville, a former college coach, has held up hundreds of appointments with his boycott.
He says he won’t back down unless Congress holds a vote on Pentagon abortion policy.
Military members can receive unpaid leave and travel stipends to go across state lines for abortion procedures if they are stationed in areas where access is limited or outlawed. Administration officials have said the move is needed to provide full health care for troops and their families. Conservative lawmakers have called the policy illegal and immoral.
Tuberville’s hold does not completely block the Senate’s ability to approve promotions and nominations, but does shift the business from a few minutes of routine votes to hours and days of floor debate. More than 300 senior positions are currently stalled in the Senate because of the fight.
Tuberville has said he won’t lift the hold until the policy is changed or Congress votes to approve the existing rules. Democrats have accused him of grandstanding and hurting national security.
He said: ‘This statement is disgusting and it is repugnant to everything we believe in as Americans. Given General Hayden’s long career in Washington, he must have known that, by making such a statement, he was committing a serious crime.
‘If we still have a nonpolitical justice system in this country, then General Hayden will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’
He said there had been a ‘deafening silence’ from Democrats.
‘I certainly did not expect to be threatened by former government officials like Michael Hayden,’ Tuberville added. ‘Anyone who actually cares about our country must condemn this reckless statement.’
Hayden was unrepentant despite the backlash.
‘I was surprised to wake up this morning and discover that many MAGAnuts had lost their minds over my suggestion that ‘Coach’ Tuberville not be considered a member of the human race,’ he posted on Tuesday morning.
‘I stand by that view. I’m wishing you all a nice day even the intransigent Tommy Tuberville.’
His comments angered Tuberville’s allies.
