(Al.com) A new TV ad released Friday that will air in the Birmingham market from an anti-Trump group describes Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville as a “traitor” because of his holds on military promotions.
Though the ad by The Lincoln Project does not explicitly state its issue with Tuberville, it appears to focus on the fact that the Marines do not have a Senate-confirmed commandant for the first time in more than a century. That position is one of about 250 affected by Tuberville’s hold on military promotions as a protest over a new Pentagon policy that provides paid leave and travel expenses for servicemembers seeking abortions.
