Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville has taken the Biden administration to task. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, he has spoiled Biden’s Pentagon again and again.
The senator has blocked appointments to protest the Pentagon’s support for abortions. The agency pays military personnel to cross state lines to get abortions. Tuberville’s actions have rankled Democrats in Congress, as well as many Democrats online.
One person asked if Tommy Tuberville should “be removed from his committee”? The X user appeared to want a response from her users, asking “Yes or No?” Former CIA Director Michael Hayden reposted the question, but what he added shocked many.
On Monday, former CIA Director Michael Hayden appeared to call for the assassination of Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) for blocking military confirmations…

How about the human race? https://t.co/UCGCfF1lA3

Michael Hayden, former director of the CIA, commented on a tweet discussing Republican Tommy Tuberville. The original poster asked if the senator should be “removed from his committee.” Hayden responded, “How about the human race?”
It appears Hayden suggested the Alabama lawmaker be “removed” from the human race. Hayden had previously criticized the senator. In 2022, he posted “Tommy Tuberville is an idiot!” linking to a clip of the senator.
Last month, Hayden accused Tuberville of being a “racist.”
In response to the recent post by Hayden, Sen. Tuberville quickly contacted the authorities.

Sen. Tuberville contacted Capitol Police over the post by Hayden. He accused the former Biden official of calling for a “politically motivated assassination” against him. Capitol Police are charged with the protection of members of Congress.
It is unclear whether the police force will investigate Hayden’s comments. The former official claimed he meant that the senator is not “a member of the human race.” He said he stands “by the view.”
Comments by notable officials could be viewed as calls to action by unstable individuals. Hayden was not apologetic over what he posted. Nor has he, by the time of this writing, deleted the original tweet.
