Morgan Murphy says he resigned after a Washington Post story suggested he took credit for the senator's military nomination blockade.
The blockade is a response to the Pentagon’s abortion travel policy, which Tuberville opposes.
“He is the boss and calls the shots and always has,” Murphy said in a phone interview. “I am, was, at the end of the day, a staffer. I didn’t take kindly to a perception otherwise.” From his 23 years in the Navy, he understands and respects the chain of command, Murphy added. In the Washington Post article, Murphy seemed to imply he introduced the idea of the holds to Tuberville saying, “I explained all his options to him.” The option the senator chose was to stall the promotions of more than 200 senior military officers.“It is my responsibility as a staffer to present the senator with his range of options, which went from sending a letter to offering a meeting to introducing an amendment or to placing holds,” Murphy said.
