The House of Representatives just voted to pass the #NDAA, 316 - 113

134 Republicans voted for it.

While many of them are going to focus on the uncontroversial parts of this “bipartisan” defense bill, there’s plenty in there that isn’t getting enough attention:

THREAD: (1/9)

(2/9)

First, this bill forces young women to register for the draft, which Rep. Roy has been against from the start.

"A vote for this #NDAA is a vote to draft your daughter, your sister, your mother & your wife"

(3/9)

Next up on the list, this #NDAA actually targets the Second Amendment rights of America’s military personnel with unconstitutional, gun-grabbing “red flag” laws.

Yes, that means violating the Constitutional rights of those defending the Constitution.

(4/9)

It also creates an “Office of Countering Extremism” which could expel troops who engage in so-called “extremist activities” or belong to an “extremist organization”

Given the rampant wokeism we've seen in Biden's Pentagon, you know EXACTLY how this will be used.

(5/9) And what kind of bill has a chance in a Democrat House without a little climate hysteria and green new deal action?

Here’s what 134 Republicans voted for:

We're sure China Russia and Iran are shaking in their boots right now…

(6/9)

And if electric military vehicles aren’t your thing, maybe we can interest you in some fake meat?

The NDAA directs the Navy to spend time on a pilot program to offer plant-based protein options at forward operating bases.

(7/9)

The #NDAA also codifies discriminatory and anti-American Critical Race Theory training for America’s troops and directs the Pentagon to hire “gender advisors”

Again, 134 Republicans voted for this.

(8/9) The bill also uses the military as a vehicle to advance gay and transgender agenda politics without any serious debate.

Promotes the LGBTQ agenda

Incorporates SOGI language

So yes, 134 Republicans just voted for that.

A woke military that drafts our daughters, wastes resources on Green New Deal garbage, holds no one accountable for Afghanistan disaster, and prioritizes playing leftist politics over destroying our enemies.

Rep. Roy voted no.

9/9
