Coach Tommy Tuberville Fights Pentagon Wokeness, Mainstream Media ‘Marketing Arm’
Senator Tommy Tuberville, R-AL, spoke to Breitbart News in response to a barrage from mainstream media allies of the Democrats about his fight against woke government policies.
Tuberville’s first political position brings a new approach to an institution known for its willingness to go along with others. “I’m no politician. OK? I told them, “Listen, I will make the best decisions for the people in Alabama and those who love our constitution across the country.” I will fight and if the people do not want me to return up here in the next election then they can vote against me. “But while I’m in this position, I will speak for the people.”
Tuberville has been vilified by some of his colleagues and the mainstream media because he bucked the Senate status quo. According to Breitbart News’ report, his maverick approach earned him a win Wednesday when he forced Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (DNY) to make a major concession after Tuberville blocked en masse promotions of military personnel in protest against the Pentagon’s policies on abortion. Tuberville was criticized by Joe Biden, Pentagon officials and the mainstream media for his unconventional methods. But Schumer’s concessions and individual nominations, which Tuberville had requested months ago, showed that there was no danger.
“I’m pro-military, and we have some good people in our military,” said a patriotic Tuberville. Yet Democrats and their media ally painted him as anti-military. We’ve got good leaders and good soldiers. From top to bottom, we have people who believe in our country.
“But, the problem is that a lot our leaders that come out of the White House or the old Obama administration want to change the military into something it has never been. They want politics to be involved. They want people to be indoctrinated in something we don’t know at all, like socialism. “That’s why we are fighting all 300 nominees.”
Tuberville blocked over 300 nominations for the military, not just because he was against the Pentagon’s policy on abortion, but also because he believed that all nominations should be scrutinized by the Senate. Tuberville opposes many nominees because they have a history of bringing politics and “wokeness”, and putting diversity, equity and inclusion policies above the core mission of the military, before the military. Schumer’s action on Wednesday established an important precedent when he brought three of these nominations before the Senate for individual consideration. Few mainstream media outlets portrayed the victory as it really was – Senator Schumer blinked a lot. CNN, a Democrat-leaning organ, even changed a headline to minimize Tuberville’s win after publication.
Tuberville will not be deterred by media loyalty to the Democrat Party. The national media is the marketing arm of the Democrat Party. “I call them activists. They’re not journalists. And anything this White House releases, the majority of mainstream media jumps on it and supports.”
Coach Tuberville exposed the hypocrisy in the claims made by Biden’s administration that their vaccine mandates harm military readiness and recruiting. “They want talk about readiness. “They want to talk about readiness.”
“So that they can make these innuendos as to what I am doing or not doing.” I’m doing what is right for the American people because, when it comes to a controversial topic like this, Bradley people from every state want to be heard, and they do so through their congressman and senator.
Tuberville will continue to shine a spotlight on Biden’s nominees, their radical pasts and the quality of those candidates after Wednesday’s win. We’ve had 220 days of opportunity to vet many of these people. In the military, we teach things that are taught in many of our schools, such as indoctrination into social justice agendas. These things shouldn’t even be taught. Our military is not a place of equal opportunity. Our military exists to protect citizens and allies in the world. We are in serious trouble if our military is not strong enough. I am afraid that with the Biden administration’s leadership and the Pentagon’s, many of these generals, admirals and other leaders are pushing ideas that the American public does not believe in.
“We can’t teach all of this DEI and identity politics. We cannot continue to teach all this DEI, social justice, identity politics. This country has not won a major war since World War II. The people don’t know that we go into these conflicts, but not to win. “We go in as police and patrol.”
Tuberville compared Biden’s incompetence to that of Donald Trump. “Afghanistan has been a disaster. Joe Biden’s handling of our foreign affairs has made us look weak to our allies, and other countries. We need to get back to what made this country great, and that began with a strong army.
“And this is why I am a Donald Trump supporter.” Donald Trump believes that a strong military is important. He is surrounded by strong leaders. We must get back to this. We don’t have a choice. We can’t help but return to this. We’re here to help. “As long as I am in the minority we will continue to fight.”
Tuberville’s affable humility, a rare characteristic in Washington’s cutthroat and power-hungry environment, combined with the competitiveness of his athlete, set him apart from his peers in a Senate where many of them are glad-handing, deal-making politicians who have worked their way up through smaller political offices. The “Riverboat Gambler”, in his third year as a senator, has proven to be a man of utterly different character. He hopes that, with his outsider perspective, he can make his second career, no matter how long, a success.
“I believe the people want someone who will fight back. I have had a successful career as a coach. I’m ready to help. I may not have all the answers but I won’t bow to politicians or give in to their demands.
