GOP senator's rant on military's 'rapid growth' gets brutal fact check

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) ranted during Pentagon nominee Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing against the expansion of the military bureaucracy, but he left out some key context.

The Alabama Republican, who infamously blocked military promotions for months to protest a Pentagon rule on service members seeking abortion care, complained during the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing about the number of civilian employees working for the Department of Defense over the past quarter century, according to MSNBC's Hayes Brown.
