“Tuberville insults every Marine who ever served and puts the men and women of the Marine Corps on the line in danger,” the ad says. “Every U.S. Marine is a patriot. Tommy Tuberville is a traitor.”
“Today, the Marine Corps faces a domestic enemy,” the ad states. “A small man with a big mouth determined to destroy the corps for his petty political agenda. Tommy Tuberville is creating a national security nightmare.”
Required to leave the job after four years, Gen. David Berger stepped down as leader of the Marines on Monday. Gen. Eric Smith, the assistant commandant, has been nominated to replace Berger but will be serving in an acting capacity because he has not been confirmed by the Senate. Tuberville started the holds in February as a strategy to overturn a policy announced last year by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to increase access to abortion for the military. Tuberville’s objection is that the policy has not been approved by Congress. The senator has insisted he will keep his hold in place until the policy is reversed or Congress votes its approval.
“Tuberville insults every Marine who ever served and puts the men and women of the Marine Corps on the line in danger,” the ad concludes. “Every U.S. Marine is a patriot. Tommy Tuberville is a traitor.”
