Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., has blocked hundreds of military nominations, expressing his opposition to the Defense Department’s abortion policy that grants paid time off and travel expenses for active duty members who undergo an abortion. President Joe Biden and other left-leaning politicians have criticized Tuberville, asserting that his actions pose a threat to national security and military readiness.

Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker argues that President Biden and the Left are mistaken in attributing America’s military challenges to the Alabama senator. She contends that Democrats are quick to evade responsibility for unpopular matters and may resort to using the race card when needed.

If you were to Google right now where the majority of the military recruits come from, you’ll see that it’s the South where the greatest numbers of recruits come from. And in these communities, these homes, folks are tired of Biden’s persistent agenda. But that hasn’t stopped Biden from blaming the whole mess on Sen. Tommy Tuberville. 

The Left is all too ready to shed accountability and throw whatever they can at an issue that they caused, but yet in order to shift the blame to someone else, and they love using race. One of Congress’s newest members, Democrat Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who in discussing her legislation on hip-hop music made a point to state that Tuberville is actually racist for what he’s doing.

One may ask what hip-hop music has to do with abortion, what it has to do with the military, why they’re even discussing it in the Congress, and how it all then culminates into someone being called a racist? That’s a reasonable question to ask — all three of them.
