After Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he was holding up Donald Trump’s Justice Department political nominees over the president accepting the $400 million “air palace in the sky” from Qatar, Alabama’s senior senator mocked the strategy in one word.

“Amateur,” tweeted Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., who for months held up then-President Joe Biden’s military nominees over the Pentagon’s abortion policy.

Tuberville was responding to a tweet from Punchbowl News’ Andrew Desiderio, who pointed out that “there aren’t very many (if any) Trump noms being fast-tracked through the chamber these days anyway.”

Earlier Tuesday, Schumer called the Qatar plane arrangement “naked corruption” and a “grave national security threat.

“So, in light of the deeply troubling news of a possible Qatari-funded Air Force One, and the reports that the Attorney General personally signed off on this clearly unethical deal,” Schumer said, “I am announcing a hold on all DOJ political nominees, until we get more answers.”

In mid-February 2023, Tuberville announced a blanket in protest of Defense Department policies concerning abortion, including a provision reimbursing service members for abortions if they need to travel outside their state for one if abortion is illegal where they are stationed.

The holds lasted for nearly 10 months.
