@janbb And they’re still continuing to pass it ‘without the support of a single Republican.’
July 12, 2019
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House passed H.R. 2500, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020 by a vote of 220 to 197, without the support of a single Republican. Upon passage, Chairman Smith (D-WA), of the House Armed Services Committee, made the following remarks:
“For the 59th straight year, members of the House upheld our constitutional duty to provide for the common defense by passing the NDAA. Following months of bipartisan collaboration with our colleagues, the Democratic-controlled House presented the most progressive NDAA in a decade. Not only does this NDAA and its provisions keep our nation safe, but it honors the values of our country, strengthens our security, and advances America’s leadership in the world.’
....
“I am proud that House Democrats stood together in the face of partisan rhetoric while, unfortunately, our Republican colleagues turned their backs on the men and women who defend our nation, and instead choose to use them as political pawns.’
