The Republican presidential candidate made his remarks on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe.'
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during a Republican presidential primary debate hosted by FOX Business Network and Univision, Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.Speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski asked DeSantis is Tuberville should lift his ongoing hold on promotions in protest of the Pentagon’s abortion policy.
“We’re trying to force a change in Pentagon policy, to conform them to the law, while at the same time, he has allowed individuals to be appointed, so if there are mission critical promotions, bring them before the Senate. I think he’s been very clear about that that’s appropriate and I know they have done that in certain instances.”
several of Tuberville’s Republican colleagues in the Senate attempted to advance the promotions individually, with Tuberville objecting. Tuberville’s blockade began as a protest against Pentagon policy paying for service members to travel to states where abortion is legal for reproductive health care.“Actually, I think that what the is doing...I don’t think they’re following the law,” DeSantis said. “With respect to the abortion tourism, I don’t think taxpayer money should be spent on that.
Approximately 376 promotions are currently caught up in the logjam, though the Senate did advance a few top posts. DeSantis said that was appropriate.“I think the Senate has decided they don’t want to move a lot of those. But if there’s people that are mission critical, they can move it in spite of what Sen. Tuberville did. But I think fighting back on the Pentagon going outside the boundaries of the law, I think that’s Congress’ appropriate role for oversight, and checks and balances.
