“I think it plays into a larger problem that we have seen in the military,” the Florida governor and GOP presidential hopeful told Fox News.
“I think it plays into a larger problem that we have seen in the military,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday on Fox News. “You have a lot of civilians forcing them to engage in political and culture issues that are detracting from [the] mission.” | Robert F. Bukaty/AP PhotoFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Monday that he supported a blockade by Sen. Tommy Tuberville on hundreds of military promotions, asserting that the Pentagon was “violating the law” with its abortion travel policy.
The new policy — which pays the travel costs for service members who don’t have local access to reproductive health care, including abortions — is “not consistent with longstanding U.S. law,” DeSantis said Monday during an interview in New Hampshire with FOX News’ Bret Baier. “I think it plays into a larger problem that we have seen in the military,” the Republican presidential hopeful added. “You have a lot of civilians forcing them to engage in political and culture issues that are detracting from [the] mission — this is one of them, but the pronouns and the drag queens and all those other things.”
Tuberville’s hold is set to leave the Army and Navy without Senate-confirmed nominees to replace retiring leaders
