Tommy Tuberville — the Alabama GOP senator who has single-handedly held up hundreds of Defense Department promotions over its abortion policy, impacting US military readiness — has parroted Russian propaganda by insisting Ukraine “can’t win” the war against Moscow.

During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Monday night, Tuberville highlighted how he has voted against US aid packages to Ukraine, but that it doesn’t even matter how much funding the eastern European country gets because it has “no chance” of beating Russia in the war.

    I don’t understand why they have not asked the DOJ to conduct an espionage act investigation on Tuberville. Holding up the appointment of leaders of the US military doesn’t seem like something someone acting in the interest of the US would do. Even if he is just being a cunt, telling him he’s under investigation for espionage and announcing so publicly, considering the death penalty is an allowable sentence for espionage, he will comply very quickly.

      How did a former football coach turned politician bring this process to a halt? Someone has to be advising him, and even if it’s a domestic actor, they should be called out for it.
