(Daily Caller)—Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw said he is ready to “tear apart” Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville over his ongoing hold on the confirmation of the Pentagon’s military nominees, Politico reported on Friday.
Tuberville has successfully blocked the confirmations of over 300 military nominees in the Senate since February out of protest of the Pentagon’s abortion policy, which funds female service members’ travel while seeking an out-of-state abortion. Crenshaw expressed his frustration with Tuberville’s blockade and feared “worsening consequences” in a text exchange with Republican allies, according to Politico.
“[I am] at a point where I’m going to tear apart (if asked) coach/Senator/non-veteran Tuberville for personally attacking service members who have spent almost 30 years serving our country,” Crenshaw said in a text exchange. “I don’t know what outcome he expected, but I’m hearing more and more that his actions are having worsening consequences.

Navy Adm. Lisa Franchetti said that Tuberville’s hold will take the military “years to recover” from if not lifted soon, during her confirmation hearing on Thursday. Franchetti is currently nominated for the Chief of Naval operations position but will only be able to fill the role as in an acting capacity due to the blockade.
Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said during Franchetti’s confirmation that Tuberville’s hold will cause disruptions in Navy operations at every level, and further strain the branch’s recruiting crisis.
“The price our nation will pay for the reckless behavior of Senator Tuberville will reach far into the future,” Warren said.
Maximize savings. Support great patriot Mike Lindell. Use promo code “JDR” at MyPillow and take advantage of the $25 EXTRAVAGANZA happening right now.
Tuberville contends that his blockade is not hurting military effectiveness, and is solely intended to target service members at the highest levels. Tuberville also noted that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer could hold individual confirmation votes, which he has thus far refused to do.
Tuberville told Franchetti during Thursday’s confirmation hearing that he looks forward to seeing her in the Navy and encouraged her to put politics aside in her new role.
“I know you can do that job – I’m looking forward to it,” Tuberville told Franchetti.
Crenshaw and Tuberville did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
Hey Dan, you RINO SOB- POKE YOURSELF WITH A STICK in your ‘good eye’. Both eyes have been revealed as WORTHLESS.
Dan Crenshaw: A M O E B A.
Turberville is CORRECT. The current nominations of Flag officers by the enemies of our country are ALL non warriors. Turberville is stopping the politically-correct crowd from ruining our military establishment.
Ain’t it funny when clown politicians pretend its not their policies that produce the deadlock. Gee maybe we should have policies Americans and those who volunteer to serve in the Military see as a Benefit instead of a Mandate.
I know Dan.
He is a good man but, unfortunately, he is clueless. He is still living in an America that vanished the day Obama took office. He imagines that these 300 Pentagon bureaucrats are his fellow “warriors”. What they really are, are 300 hand-picked, Woke, leftist creeps. That Biden is trying to promote them means they have been thoroughly vetted by some mentally ill tranny in the White House basement. Dan supported the hideous Liz Cheney for the same reason. He does not know what year it is.
By your logic, if Crenshaw is truly that clueless and were actually a ‘good man’, he would resign for the public good. He certainly doesn’t need apologists such as yourself going to bat for his increasingly abhorrent behavior and stances.
That said, it’s actually perfectly clear from the volumes of evidence over the last few years that Crenshaw knows exactly what year it is and what his WEF masters require of him. The guy’s a fraud, always has been, and hopefully will soon be a has-been.
Best of luck opening your own eyes, but stop trying to pull the wool over ours.
He may have been at one time but since he got himself elected he’s nothing more than an ego driven hack…. Military complex globalist POS
The united snakes military is the most leftist institution in the country; anti-Christian, anti-White, pro-anal. Also, the boders are wide open. Where is Washington’s anal brigades? Why, enforcing globalism on traditionalist nations. Indeed, the united states military is facilitating the invasion of america. To hell with the united states military.
Crenshaw nothing but a globalist douchebag punk!
Naval recruiting is down 17% because of leaders like Lisa Franchetti. I hope Tubberville keeps it up. The woke military will not attract anybody. Keep promoting based on race and gender, and you will not have a military.
What a joke, this guy is such an imbecile. These generals are not needed. In WW2, the greatest war of American history, was fought on 2 fronts, with less than 1/3 of the general officers that there are in the military today. Every one of these officers are woke, ideological, traitor’s, who would love to turn the military into a homo-laden utopia to weaken us before our enemies.
if these 300 or so selectee’s are carrying out there duties as acting commanders or whatever, then I submit that there is not threat to national security. But, if they are more concerned about pinning on a new rank than leading their respective organizations/units then there in the wrong line of work.
Joe Biden is using the military to bypass State restrictions on Abortion similar to Obama using the Commerce laws. Is that a coincidence? No, these and all things Biden are actually Obama’s 3rd term. Watch the tape of Obama returning to the White House, Biden is irrelevant except for his family corruption.
Open borders are a continuation of DACA and Amnesty. Congress refuses to do their job afraid they will decide poorly as Regan was. Meanwhile 8,000.000,000 illegals have poured over the border. Keep up the good work Congress.
Danny knows Tuberville is only slowing it down not completely blocking anything and below the corrupt Marxist Pentagon normal promotion continues and has all along.
This is just political theater and we know what side Dan Crenshaw is actually on.
Sorry that number has 3 digits too many…
8,000,000 is correct
So Tuberville is resisting having Navy ships drive into each other? And Crenshaw has a problem with that?
