Florida governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis reiterated his support for Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Alabama) hold on military promotions Saturday.
“What the defense department is doing is outside the law,” DeSantis said while speaking at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition Town Hall. “They are breaking, violating the law by funding abortion tourism with tax dollars.”
Tuberville’s monthslong holding of over 300 military promotions is in protest against a Pentagon policy reimbursing expenses for service members traveling across state lines for abortions.
