Tuberville’s Military Blockade Backed by Extremist Groups
WASHINGTON, DC – Senator Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) efforts to undermine the military by holding up critical promotions for months reached a fever pitch this week, drawing outrage from his MAGA majority colleagues. But even as most of Congress agrees that Tuberville’s standoff is nothing more than a “national security suicide mission,” Tuberville is being supported in his military blockade by a network of key conservative groups in Washington.
As Senator Tuberville continues to recklessly undermine our military, he’s not acting alone. He is supported by some of Washington’s most powerful conservative institutions, including key groups in conservative kingpin Leonard Leo’s orbit. Conservatives are willing to throw everyday Americans under the bus by threatening our military readiness — all for a cheap political stunt,” said Accountable.US president Caroline Ciccone.
Here are some of the conservative groups providing cover for Senator Tuberville’s reckless military blockade:
- The Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) awarded Senator Tuberville their first-ever “Courage Under Fire Award” at their annual partners conference for his reckless military blockade. Multiple key individuals associated with CPI also signed onto a letter standing with Senator Tuberville, including president Ed Corrigan, chief operating officer Wesley Denton, chairman Jim DeMint, and senior legal fellow Cleta Mitchell.
- The Heritage Foundation released a letter signed by three of its vice presidents standing with Senator Tuberville.
- Gary Marx, president of Leonard Leo’s Concord Fund, signed onto a letter standing with Senator Tuberville.
- Alliance Defending Freedom founder Alan Sears signed onto a letter standing with Senator Tuberville.
- Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser signed onto a letter standing with Senator Tuberville.
- Council for National Policy president Tom Fitton signed onto a letter standing with Senator Tuberville.
- American Accountability Foundation president Tom Jones signed onto a letter standing with Senator Tuberville.
