Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville said “nothing has changed” regarding his months-long blockade of military promotions in protest to the Pentagon’s abortion policy.

Speaking to CNN’s Manu Raju, Tuberville on Monday said he has been told by members of the military to continue, but gave a suggestion on how to end the impasse.

Tuberville is at odds with a Defense Department policy that covers travel expenses if military members are stationed in a state where abortion is illegal. Last month, Tuberville said he is open to different options to end the blockade.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has said he plans to advance a Rules Committee resolution that would allow all the promotions blocked by Tuberville to be considered en bloc, or in large groups, to the full Senate sometime in the next month.

Speaking to Newsmax’s Eric Bolling, Tuberville said “we’ve got the weakest military that we’ve had in probably my lifetime,” according to Newsweek.

Specifically, Tuberville took issue with the $114 million requested by the Pentagon for its diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs in the 2024 budget.

“Infiltrating our military is all this wokeness, and it’s coming from the top, coming from Joe Biden, coming from Secretary of Defense (Lloyd) Austin. It’s coming from (former Joint Chiefs Chair General Mark) Milley, who is recently gone. It’s a disaster.

“They can’t get anybody to join the military. They’re begging people to come back that left because they didn’t take the vaccine. We’re in huge trouble. Our country is in huge trouble.”

Tuberville said Biden should send military personnel to the border to “close it down.”

“We’re going to have a 9/11 attack every few weeks if we don’t watch it,” Tuberville said.

Tuberville has been criticized by several senators, including his Republican colleagues, for weakening the military through the promotions blockade, which has held up more than 350 promotions since February.
