Arguing with a coach will surely get you benched. Calling for the assassination of one should land you in jail.
This is especially true if the person making the grotesque remark was the former director of the National Security Agency under President Bill Clinton and former director of the Central Intelligence Agency under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Currently a professor at George Mason University-Schar School of Policy and Government, I wonder what his students think of his calling for the demise of Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama?
The one-time football coach at Auburn University, who still goes by the nickname of “coach” to his colleagues, Tuberville seems to have riled up former CIA Director and retired Gen. Michael Hayden for refusing to back down from a decision Hayden doesn’t like, according to the New York Post.
You see, Tuberville stands in the way of a fast-tracked formal appointment of 300 military nominees in the face of the escalating war between Israel and Hamas. The reason he is doing so seems rather impertinent to the necessity of completing the process, according to Hayden and The Guardian.
Tuberville refuses to budge, however, so committed is he to his stance against an existing “Pentagon policy that pays for troops’ out-of-state travel for reproductive services — including abortion and in-vitro fertilization,” the Post reported. He’s held these confirmations for pertinent roles up for months.
What’s Hayden’s solution? They should simply kill Tuberville.
How about the human race? https://t.co/UCGCfF1lA3
