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 [Hayden] 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.

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.

A spokesperson for the senator noted to Politico that Democrats could hold individual votes on the nominees individually.

However, the outlet pointed out, “Typically, military promotions are processed en masse, but individual senators have the leverage to require roll call votes. The Senate would have time for little else if it confirmed them all individually, so Tuberville’s blanket objection has effectively stalled the typically uncontroversial promotions process.”
