Group of House Republicans Voices Opposition to ‘Woke’ Defense Bill
Breitbart, Dec 6, 2021

A group of House Republicans are mounting vocal opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act, a massive bill that authorizes the Pentagon’s spending and activities, over a number of its “woke” provisions.

The 2022 NDAA would authorize $768 billion in defense spending for fiscal year 2022, but it would also usher into law a number of new policies on things related to gender and diversity, climate change, and red flag laws.

The opposition has come mostly from the pro-Trump populist wing of the Republican Party. Conservative firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has been one of the most vocal.

She tweeted recently: “The NDAA, in it’s current form, would push through a woke military agenda like we’ve never seen before. Our military is supposed to protect our nation, not protect our feelings. Let’s cut the woke bullcrap out and take care of what they need!”

[...]

They urged Republican senators to band together and oppose it.

The bill passed in the House with the help of 135 Republicans and is now up for consideration in the Senate and would need 60 votes to pass, or 10 Republican votes.

“Forty-one Republican senators can stand together against the blinding liberal programs in the NDAA per the Senate rules,” the four congressmen wrote in the December 2 op-ed in The Hill. “Our military will still be adequately funded, but freed from the woke nonsense from the left.”

McCarthy's going to cost Republicans the House.

Of course he is. He's a RINO POS the doesn't want republicants in charge. The republicants have always been good for grabbing defeat from the hands of victory.
