Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has become the latest candidate to support Sen. Tommy Tuberville's (R-AL) protest regarding the Department of Defense's reproductive healthcare policy.
The Pentagon announced in February it would reimburse the travel expenses incurred for service members or dependents who seek reproductive healthcare procedures not covered by the Military Health System, notably abortions, and have to travel across state lines to do so due to local laws. The policy was announced in response to the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade, which led a number of conservative states to impose laws restricting abortion access.
Tuberville's communications director, Steven Stafford, told the Washington Examiner: "Coach had a good conversation with Vivek yesterday. Coach made clear that he has been a Trump guy since day one — he was the first senator to endorse Trump for 2024. But they discussed their shared concerns about the future of this country and their shared goal of defeating Joe Biden in next November's election.
"This just goes to show how messed up our country is. I mean, you look at the fact that the Department of Defense shouldn’t be doing this in the first place. But there’s got to be other ways to go about doing this," she said on The Hugh Hewitt Show earlier this month."They look at the fact that they’re, you know, dangling these promotions out there and using them as fodder.
Ramaswamy, in his social media post, criticized Gen. Charles Q. Brown, the secretary of the Air Force and President Joe Biden's nominee to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for his emphasis on diversity and inclusion.
