<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tommy-tuberville" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tommy Tuberville</a> (R-AL) said he reported former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cia">CIA</a> Director <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michael-hayden">Michael Hayden</a> to the Capitol Police in response to a post on social media suggesting that the college football coach-turned-lawmaker should no longer be a member of the human race.</p>
<p>The announcement on Tuesday marks an escalation over Tuberville&#8217;s months-long &#8220;hold&#8221; on the Democrat-led Senate&#8217;s ability to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/schumer-moves-to-confirm-top-military-nominees-after-tuberville-calls-audible">quickly approve U.S. military nominees</a> in protest against a Pentagon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abortion</a> policy.</p>
<p>Hayden, a retired four-star general who in addition to serving as head of the CIA also worked as chief of the NSA during his career, stirred controversy when he responded to a post on X on Monday that asked, &#8220;Should Tommy Tuberville be removed from his committee? Yes or No?&#8221; His account <a href="https://twitter.com/GenMhayden/status/1711554729518460955?s=20">replied</a>, &#8220;How about the human race?&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">How about the human race? <a href="https://t.co/UCGCfF1lA3">https://t.co/UCGCfF1lA3</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Gen Michael Hayden (@GenMhayden) <a href="https://twitter.com/GenMhayden/status/1711554729518460955?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The comment prompted a torrent of criticism, including from other GOP lawmakers who regarded what Hayden said as a <a href="https://twitter.com/SenMikeLee/status/1711743834067968453">threat</a> and even the <a href="https://twitter.com/RepDanBishop/status/1711759580697374767">suggestion of</a> an assassination attempt.</p>
<p>“This morning my office was made aware of a statement made by General Michael Hayden calling for a politically motivated assassination,&#8221; Tuberville said in a statement. &#8220;This statement is disgusting and it is repugnant to everything we believe in as Americans. Given General Hayden’s long career in Washington, he must have known that, by making such a statement, he was committing a serious crime.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tuberville added, &#8220;His own efforts today to reinterpret what he said are only a tacit admission of guilt. If we still have a nonpolitical justice system in this country, then General Hayden will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. My office has reported this incident to the Capitol Police and I expect that they will once again do an excellent job protecting members of Congress and bringing criminals to justice.&#8221;</p>

<p>Hayden, who <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/cia-michael-hayden-executing-nuclear-secrets-leakers-trump-raid">similarly made headlines last year</a> when he appeared to endorse the execution of people who leak national security secrets amid the classified documents investigation into former President Donald Trump, responded to the latest firestorm in a follow-up post to X on Tuesday morning.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was surprised to wake up this morning and discover that many MAGAnuts had lost their minds over my suggestion that &#8216;Coach&#8217; Tuberville not be considered a member of the human race. I stand by that view. I’m wishing you all a nice day even the intransigent Tommy Tuberville,&#8221; Hayden <a href="https://twitter.com/GenMhayden/status/1711723043360256203">said</a>.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire reached out to the Capitol Police seeking comment.</p>
<p>Tuberville&#8217;s statement assailed what he said was the &#8220;deafening silence&#8221; from Democrats on Hayden, and noted that the former CIA director is &#8220;just the latest in a long line of Washington Leftists who have engaged in reckless rhetoric against me over the past few months. This must stop and it must stop now.&#8221;</p>
