House GOP military veterans blast Tuberville hold on promotions
BY EMILY BROOKS - 09/15/23 4:20 PM ET
House Republicans who are veterans and focused on military issues in Congress are publicly voicing their frustration with Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Ala.) holds on military promotions.
Rep. Brandon Williams (R-N.Y.), who was a nuclear submarine officer for the Navy, revealed in a press conference on Friday that he forced a meeting with Tuberville to talk about a friend with whom he served in the Navy and who is set to take over command of the submarine force.
“I went and sat in Sen. Tuberville’s office for about 45 minutes until he had an opening and would see me, and we had a very frank conversation about it,” Williams said.
“At the time, I was led to believe that it wouldn’t last much longer. And here we are 2 1/2 months later. And we certainly don’t seem to be any closer,” Williams said. “So I’d like to see us get the leadership in place that we need, you know, to face the threats that we face.”
