This may serve as a preview of how he plans to counter complaints about &#8220;wokeness&#8221; in the military during the upcoming 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The \u2063Republican \u2064Party used to always support the military,&#8221; Biden stated on Thursday. &#8220;But today, \u200cthey are undermining the military.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden began by\u200c condemning Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) \u2062for his hold on military promotions, which was a protest against the\u2064 Pentagon&#8217;s \u200dtravel reimbursements policy for abortions. He also criticized the\u2064 &#8220;48 Republicans who refuse to stand up to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t have a sitting confirmed commandant of the Marine \u2062Corps,&#8221; he expressed. &#8220;By the fall, \u2064we may \u2064not have a chairman \u200bof \u2064the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We may not have military leaders from our Army and Navy either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president referred to this situation as a &#8220;partisan freeze&#8221; and an &#8220;extreme\u200c blockade.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t a football game,&#8221; Biden added, taking\u200d a jab at Tuberville&#8217;s background as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-mental-health-pandemic-is-already-here\/\" title=\"The Mental Health Pandemic Is Already Here\">college football coach<\/a>. &#8220;The senior senator from Alabama who claims to support our troops is now blocking more than 300 military operations with his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-introduces-resolutions-to-expunge-trump-impeachment-votes\/\" title=\"House GOP introduces resolutions to erase Trump impeachment votes.\">extreme political agenda<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden emphasized \u2064the urgency of confirming all outstanding military nominees, including \u2062the commandant and his pick \u200bfor\u2062 chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stating, &#8220;now, now, now!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, \u200cBiden didn&#8217;t stop there.

He vehemently rejected \u2062the notion that the military was becoming weak or emasculated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frankly,&#8221; Biden asserted, &#8220;they \u200bhave no idea \u2063what in God&#8217;s name they are talking about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that Governor Ron\u2063 DeSantis \u200d(R-FL), a potential \u2063contender for the 2024 GOP nomination, recently\u200d unveiled his own proposal to address &#8220;wokeness&#8221; \u2064in the military.<\/p>\n<p>Biden accused Cruz of falling for &#8220;Russian propaganda&#8221; and claimed that Hawley \u200bsupported &#8220;insurrectionists&#8221; who posed a threat to \u2064democracy during the events of January 6th.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his speech, Biden urged an end to the attacks on \u200bthe military, while also praising President Harry Truman for\u2063 his commitment to civil rights and the desegregation of \u200dthe military 75 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>As Biden delivered\u200d his remarks, the Senate overwhelmingly passed the National Defense Authorization Act with a bipartisan vote \u200cof 86 to 11.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, President Biden passionately called on Senate Republicans to approve all outstanding\u2064 military nominees and uphold \u200cthe legacy of Harry Truman \u2063by keeping\u2064 the country \u200bsafe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden criticized Republicans at the Truman Civil Rights Symposium for abandoning their commitment to a robust national defense.
