Senator Potatohead Speaks

Ellen Mitchell / The Hill:

Tuberville says he opposed Joint Chiefs chair over ‘equal opportunity’ push  —  Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) said he voted against the nomination of the Pentagon's next Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman over the military officer's push to promote “woke policies.”

Chelsey Cox / CNBC:   Sen. Tommy Tuberville says U.S. military not an ‘equal opportunity employer’

Gregory Korte / al.com:   Tuberville: Military 'not an equal opportunity employer ... We're not looking for different groups'

I think "Coach" may have played footsball w/o a helmet for a little too long. Does he think the U.S. military should be all white Xian males w/ family connections? Gonna be tough attracting cannon fodder w/ that attitude, 'though I s'pose what he's really saying is "No uppity you-know-whats in the officer corps, dadgum it." Did he not have African-Americans playing for him at Alabama? Be interesting to see what sorts of people played which positions there.
