Two House Republicans Kill Amendments To Block Diversity Enforcement in U.S. Military

RTM:
Two Republican members of the US. House of Representatives broke ranks from their party to kill two amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that sought to curtail diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the military.

The aforementioned amendments were presented during a committee markup for the NDAA on Wednesday night. Despite the general party-line voting, the opposition from Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon and Ohio Rep. Mike Turner led to the amendments’ downfall in 29-30 votes.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz proposed one of these amendments, which would have blocked NDAA funds from being used for DEI training. Gaetz put forth another amendment as well, aimed at prohibiting funding for drag shows at military facilities; this one was successfully passed.

The other defeated amendment came from Missouri Rep. Mark Alford, who aimed to defund the position of the Defense Department’s top diversity officer — a role presently held by Theresa Hull, the deputy inspector general for diversity and inclusion and extremism in the military. read more

  1. Think those RINOs will check to make sure their next flights are captained by diversity hires?
    Apparently they have enough confidence in lack of qualifications to want the country defended by diversity hires.

  2. Establishment Republicans ARE the greatest threat to America, closely followed by the Democrat Party. Both are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Progressive Movement. The latter is transparent and open about it, the former lie to the face of their constituencies.

  3. WTF
    Theresa Hull – Inspector General for Diversity and Inclusion and “Extremism”.
    So nobody here would be allowed to join, only faithful SHEEP.

    Yep, Bacon is a RINO, if it makes it to the senate RINO Ricketts won’t be any help either.

  4. It’s simple. It’s not Biden, it’s not Obama, it’s not Garland, It’s not Wray, it’s not the DOJ, it’s not the FBI, it’s not DHS, it’s not the IRS, it’s not the courts or the deep state or even the swamp. It’s the repuglican party. That IS the problem.

  5. Maybe don’t join the military, try the Salvation Army.

    Bacon stated, “would have totally cut all diversity training for the military, which is unreasonable. All service members should know that racism and sexual harassment are not tolerated in our military, and you do that through training.”

  6. Satan holds sway – God is pissed.
    When He reaches out His powerful arm, we’re all fucked.

    Those two maggots (Bacon and Turner) are just doing what Satan told them to do.
