'This is on your shoulders. Resign,' the Alabama Democratic Party tweeted. Tuberville is asking his colleagues to confirm a second-in-command.
U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville speaks at SportsMed in Huntsville. He was touring medical centers about the coronavirus vaccine. .The Alabama Democratic Party on Tuesday called on Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., to resign, blaming his holds on military promotions for causing a gap in leadership after Marine Commandant Gen. Eric Smith suffered a heart attack and appearing to suggest Smith’s increased workload led to his hospitalization.
The state party’s remarks were echoed by Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., chairman of the Armed Services Committee who has heavily criticized Tuberville’s holds on military nominations. Tuberville has put the promotions on hold since February in response to Defense Department policies reimbursing travel expenses for service members who seek abortions and live in states where the procedure is illegal.
Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl, deputy commandant for combat development and integration and commanding general of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, is performing Smith’s duties in his absence.
