Tommy Tuberville is facing backlash for remarks he made about white nationalists in the armed forces in an interview about <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mcconnell-tuberville-military-nominees-blocked-pentagon-c966eadf0c8fb2f7eb63bd6e4a93e770\">his blocking of military nominees,<\/a> He said that while Democrats may consider such people to be racists, \u201cI call them Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuberville\u2019s office later said he was expressing skepticism at the idea that white nationalists were in the armed services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first-term senator from Alabama made the remarks in an interview last week with WBHM, an NPR affiliate. He suggested that the Biden administration\u2019s efforts to expand diversity in the military were weakening the force and hampering recruitment, though the Army has said that <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/afghanistan-politics-military-and-defense-race-ethnicity-6548adcb0fee590f3427771d1e1eeea7\">the real problem is<\/a> that many young people do not see enlistment as safe or a good career path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are losing in the military so fast. Our readiness in terms of recruitment,\u201d Tuberville said, <a href=\"https:\/\/wbhm.org\/2023\/tuberville-defends-hold-on-defense-nominations-says-pentagon-wrong-to-screen-out-white-nationalists\/\">according to the station\u2019s transcript<\/a> of the interview. \u201cAnd why? I\u2019ll tell you why. Because the Democrats are attacking our military, saying we need to get out the white extremists, the white nationalists, people that don\u2019t believe in our agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked if he believed white nationalists should be allowed in the U.S. military, Tuberville responded, \u201cWell, they call them that. I call them Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments came as Tuberville continued to hold up Senate approval of a slew of military appointments over his opposition to Pentagon abortion policies. Those policies provide travel funds and support for troops and dependents who seek abortions but are based in states where they are now illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House National Security Council said it was \u201cabhorrent that Senator Tuberville would argue that white nationalists should be allowed to serve in the military, while he also threatens our national security by holding all pending DOD military and civilian nominations. Extremist behavior has no place in our military. None.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday on the Senate floor that Tuberville\u2019s words were \u201cgravely damaging\u201d and that senators \u201care called to a higher standard of conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoes Sen. Tuberville honestly believe that our military is stronger with white nationalists in its ranks?\u201d Schumer said. \u201cI cannot believe this needs to be said, but white nationalism has no place in our armed forces and no place in any corner of American society, period. Full stop. End of story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuberville, who has endorsed former President Donald Trump in his 2024 White House bid, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/sports-elections-crime-alabama-united-states-dee2ecf1a05c8cbecad8a8eb6dbfbc09\">has faced criticism<\/a> for previous comments related to race. At a Nevada rally featuring Trump, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tuberville-comments-reparations-19d58a87c23b57c1e9a6c8ca7f8fcb70\">he asserted in October<\/a> that Democrats support reparations for the descendants of enslaved people because \u201cthey think the people that do the crime are owed that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe are losing in the military so fast.
