Former CIA Director Michael Hayden is taking heat for a post he made on X, formerly Twitter, about a Republican lawmaker.
On Monday, Hayden shared a post asking if Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) should be removed from his committee assignments.
He then took the question a little bit further, asking, “How about the human race?”

It did not take long for users to blast Hayden for his post.
Virginia state Delegate Nick Freitas (R) wrote, “Well if anyone knows something about getting innocent Americans killed, it’s you.”
Conservative commentator Dana Loesch wrote, “With ‘generals’ like you no wonder this country doesn’t win wars.”
“I was hoping this had just been posted and he had had very little time to reconsider it. Nah, it’s from last night. The elites are not okay,” conservative writer Mary Katherine Ham wrote.
Another user wrote, “In which a former CIA Director calls for the killing of a US Senator for making Democrats actually vote on nominations.”
Hayden’s comment comes as Tuberville has vowed not to relent from his hold on Military promotions over the Pentagon’s policy of covering the costs of servicemembers who cross state lines for abortions.
