women who serve as heroes anymore, and that s sad and it s terrible. and i appreciate what tuberville is trying to do, i do. it s totally wrong the department of defense is doing this, but have we gotten so low this is how we have to go about stopping it? as a reminder senator tuberville of alabama has single handedly stalled more than 300 military promotions since february, and he s showing no sign he ll end the hold despite growing pressure from fellow republicans in congress. in an interview with fox news earlier this week he was asked about all this. and his answer, frankly, did not make much sense. it s a very extreme policy, and it s a policy that we ve had for 40 years that was voted on by joe biden in 1985 that we put in. the military has had no problems with this, rape, incest, and health of the mom, and it s worked great.
