All throughout 2023, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) flexed his senatorial might and held up hundreds of military nominees, because he doesn’t like the Pentagon’s new abortion policy. But UAPs are not on the freshman senator’s plate.
While Tuberville serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee — or SASC — when it comes to UFO whistleblower David Grusch, this summer Tuberville told us he hadn’t heard of him.
“Nope. Don’t know it,” Tuberville exclusively told Ask a Pol on July 25, 2023 — the day before Grusch testified publicly in the US House of Representatives.
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s interview with Sen. Tommy Tuberville, slightly edited for clarity.
