A display on the U.S. Capitol lawn urges the U.S. Senate to confirm hundreds of military promotions being held up by U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, an Alabama Republican. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville had no immediate comment today after a retired CIA director appeared to suggest the senator be removed from “the human race” because of his freeze on military promotions.
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden was asked Monday on the social media platform X if Tuberville should be “removed” from his committees including the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee. “How about the human race?” Hayden answered. And today he didn’t back down. Tuberville’s spokesman had not responded to a request from AL.com about Hayden’s comments prior to publication of this story.
Hayden’s comment led to support for Tuberville on X.

CNN National Security Analyst and Former Head Of The CIA Michael Hayden: Tommy Tuberville should be assassinated.
