Former CIA Director Michael Hayden on Monday joked about assassinating Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
Tuberville, who serves as the head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has been blocking bulk confirmations of hundreds of military officers for key leadership roles in protest of a Pentagon policy that pays for troops’ abortions and other reproductive services.
