Exclusive: Rep. Chip Roy to Offer Omnibus Amendment to Defund DOD’s Office for Diversity, Equity, and InclusionJacob Bliss 23 Dec 2022 Washington, DC
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is offering an amendment to the 4,155-page, $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill full of handouts on Friday that would defund the U.S. Department of Defense’s Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
The omnibus amendment offered by the Texas congressman would amend “Division C” of the Department of Defence Appropriations Act to include “None of the funds made available by this 2 Act may be used for the Department of Defense Office 3 for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”
Last month, Roy and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) published a report exposing wokeness at the Department of Defense, which included background information about the department’s DEI chief. The report broke down how President Joe Biden’s administration uses the U.S. military to “promote critical race theory, sex reassignment procedures, and drag queen story hours for children and shield woke and incompetent leaders from accountability.”
“The Department of Defense’s priority should be training the men and women of our Armed Forces to be a united, lethal, and battle-ready force primed to defend the United States and her interests at a moment’s notice,” Roy said at the release of the report.
“Instead, Biden’s woke Pentagon is using taxpayer dollars to promote blatant anti-American ideology. It has to stop. We need to end this politicization of our military and keep our Armed Forces focused on defending our national security.”
