Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl released the following statement concerning President Joe Biden’s attack on Alabama U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville:
“President Biden needs to get his house in order before attacking other people! This situation started because he ignored the will of the people and the U.S. Congress by circumventing the Hyde Amendment. As Commander-in-Chief, President Biden needs to take responsibility for his administration’s actions and reverse this flawed policy. He single-handedly has the power to end the Pentagon’s violation of the Hyde Amendment, and stop the holds coming from the Senate floor. Coach Tuberville is not just representing the interests of his constituents here in Alabama, but also the majority of American’s who have repeatedly expressed that they do not want taxpayer funds being used for abortion related expenses. Senator Tuberville’s stance also upholds the constitutional understanding that spending decisions must originate with the legislative branch. I call on the President to end this standoff now, by reversing this unlawful policy.”
