NEW: House Armed Services chair @RepAdamSmith blasts @usairforce for announcing new basing of C-130s in Georgia without waiting for Congress’ approval, saying it appears designed to influence the ongoing runoff election there.

@Perduesenate is already taking victory laps.

“The timing and decision to include Savannah, GA in the announcement, when Georgia is focused on Senate runoff elections, raises questions about the Secretary’s motives,” @RepAdamSmith says. “The Air Force did not need to make this decision now ... and should delay.”

“This is extremely exciting news,” @sendavidperdue says. “As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and proud Senator for Georgia, I continue to focus on making sure our women and men in uniform always have the tools they need.”
