A GOP lawmaker has taken aim at Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., over his ongoing blockade on a multitude of military promotions. Mike McCaul, Texas congressman and Republican Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, during a CNN appearance on Sunday, referred to Tuberville's move as "paralyzing" and a "national security problem."
"The idea that one man in the Senate can hold this up for months — I understand maybe promotions, but nominations? — is paralyzing the Department of Defense," McCaul said. "I think that is a national security problem and a national security issue. But to hold up the top brass from being promoted — and lower brass — I think is paralyzing our Department of Defense."
