Tommy Tuberville Calls U.S. Military Leaders 'Woke' For Opposing Him

Senator Tommy Tuberville has dismissed as "woke propaganda" the claims from senior military figures that he is undermining national security by blocking military promotions in protest against the Pentagon's policies on abortion.

On Tuesday, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro accused the Alabama Republican of "aiding and abetting communist and other autocratic regimes" during an appearance on CNN. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, who was also on the broadcaster's panel, claimed potential U.S. adversaries are "paying attention" to the policy which is "affecting how they view the United States and our military capabilities."
