Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Wednesday linked his objection to a new Defense Department policy of paying for abortions for military personnel and his fight to bring Space Command to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville.
and give it residence at its startup home in Colorado Springs.
“Thank goodness President Trump had the forethought to put in Space Force and Space Command,” Tuberville said. “And this group doesn’t look like they know how to handle it. So hopefully, it comes to Huntsville again. I don’t know what else we can do. You know, we can write letters. We can complain about it. But again, you know, Nebraska was No. 2 on the list. San Antonio was No. 3. Colorado wasn’t even in the mix.
In other words, Tuberville said, the politics Colorado Democrats accused Trump in playing with Redstone being identified as the ideal location would also be at play if Biden intervened and delivered it to Colorado. “So if it goes to Colorado, you know exactly why it went to Colorado,” Tuberville said. “It would be because of politics.”
Tuberville again touted his relationship with Kendall, who told Aderholt in the hearing that he had been charged with making the decision on Space Command by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. At this point, though, there is no timetable for a decision.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
