Gosar (R-AZ-4) 12/07/2021: Tweet – “Yet it should not have been “courageous” since all sovereign countries get to choose the location of their capitol. The fact that presidents prior to Trump “promised” to support that capitol but balked reflects their cowardice and Trump's resolve. A rare commodity. Link to quoted tweetYesterday marked the fourth anniversary of Trump's courageous step to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. ”

Lamborn (R-CO-5) 12/07/2021: Twitter thread – “Thread: I was pleased to vote for the #NDAA, which will benefit CO-05 due to its emphasis on space, missile defense, and new defense technologies. The FY22 NDAA will be essential in maintaining our competitive advantage over adversaries like Russia and China. This legislation strengthens our partnership with Israel & works to modernize our nuclear triad. It also includes my bill, the Chaplains Memorial Preservation Act which would update the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish chaplain memorials at @ArlingtonNatl. Lastly, I am grateful that I was able to remove many of the unrelated partisan provisions from this legislation. With Russia & the #CCP moving rapidly to exploit the weaknesses displayed by the Biden Admin, this legislation must quickly be signed into law.”

Link to quoted tweetHezbollah is part of a network of Iranian proxies that exist to carry out attacks around the world. The terror group's actions in Latin America are destabilizing and dangerous. Thank you, @SenBillCassidy, for highlighting the threat posed by Hezbollah. ”

Thune (R-SD) 12/07/2021: Tweet – “The relationship between the United States and Israel is deeply important.

Hartzler (R-MO-4) 12/07/2021: Twitter thread – “Tackling threats from China, Russia, Iran, and America's other adversaries requires our military to be funded adequately to ensure our troops' readiness remains undeterred. This year's #NDAA does just that. Hartzler: Passage of Defense Bill Sends Strong Message to America's Adversaries... | hartzler.house.gov It achieves this mark with a $25B boost to Biden's defense budget to develop hypersonics and invest in our servicemembers while not including harmful provisions such as Red Flag laws or forcing women to register for the draft – which I strongly advocated against. I am proud to see Missouri-focused initiatives which I championed have been included in this legislation, such as authorizing funds for 12 F/A-18 Super Hornets and 17 F-15EX aircraft with additional funding increases within the Army's small and medium caliber ammunition accounts. I applaud the passage of the #NDAA and the strong message it sends to both America's allies and its enemies.”

Given long list of Saudi atrocities, including brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, jailing of Raif Badawi, & war in Yemen, I see no reason to continue aiding & abetting their violence.”

Merkley (D-OR) 12/07/2021: Tweet – “The war in Yemen has had devastating humanitarian impacts and we must end it as swiftly as possible.

Yemen

Khanna (D-CA-17) 12/07/2021: Tweet – “Tonight, I voted no on the NDAA because I couldn't support a bill that spends far more on the Pentagon than the Pentagon asked for and fails to end U.S. complicity in the bombing of Yemeni civilians. Is this really the best we can do while having the Presidency and both Houses?”

Gibbs (R-OH-7) 12/08/2021: Twitter thread – “Maintaining a strong, superior military is the first and foremost responsibility of the federal government. The House came together last night to pass a bipartisan NDAA that strengthens our military and prepares us for the rising threats of China and Russia. The NDAA reversed President Biden's reckless cuts to our military. It holds the Biden administration accountable for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout, and gives a pay raise to our servicemembers while improving housing for servicemembers with families. With China bullying Taiwan & Russian threatening Ukraine, we shouldn't be cutting military funding. I am glad the House could come together in a bipartisan manner to provide our troops with the pay, training, & resources needed to fulfill their mission.”

Greene (R-GA-14) 12/07/2021: Twitter thread – “1. On the 80th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the House passed an NDAA that is more concerned with funding a Green New Deal compliant military w/ zero carbon emissions and more afraid of extreme weather than Nuclear China and Russia. Link to image 2. The NDAA doesn't stop the Biden mandated covid vaccination of our military members, but funds gender reassignment surgeries & provides woke CRT training. With 250,563 active duty military choosing natural immunity at risk of being fired the NDAA should've provided exemptions. Link to image 3. With no accountability of the military leaders who armed the Taliban Islamic terrorist nation of Afghanistan, abandoned Americans, and killed 13 soldiers needlessly, funding the NDAA would be providing money to leaders who failed and left our military demoralized. 4. We should fund an NDAA to fully prepare our military to be the most powerful and deadly fighting force in the world. Not the field experiment for Dr Fauci.”

Grothman (R-WI-6) 12/07/2021: Tweet – “Conducting oversight of @POTUS's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan is critical to ensure the Biden Administration is transparent and held to account. The American people deserve to know what happened.

This bill provides our servicemembers with a 2.7% raise, prohibits the Department of Defense from dishonorably discharging servicemembers who refuse to get the COVID vaccine and prevents Biden's woke policies from harming our military. It also includes my amendment that prevents the Department of Defense from providing financial support to the Taliban. I'm proud to support our troops through this bill that provides our military the support it needs to defend our country, protect our freedoms and remain tough on China. Dangerous red flag language was removed from this bill, so I am eager for it to become law.”

McKinley (R-WV-1) 12/08/2021: Twitter thread – “Supporting the #NDAA is a win for our military & our national security: 👪Pay raises for troops & support for military families 🔎Holds Biden Admin accountable for Afghanistan disaster 🎖️Advanced defensive technologies ensuring America is competitive against China & Russia Conservatives pushed back on Democrats offensive attempt to politicize the #NDAA by removing their far-left wish-list: ❗️Red Flag Laws 👧Draft for our daughters ✝️Dishonorable discharge for troops w/ religious & other objections to unconstitutional Covid-19 vaccine mandates”

Miller (R-IL-15) 12/07/2021: Twitter thread – “I was once again the only Republican from IL to vote against the Biden NDAA. No one in the Biden Admin has been held accountable for the diaster in Afghanistan - 5k ISIS & al Qaeda prisoners released, $85 billion in equipment seized by the Taliban, & 13 service members killed. The NDAA creates a federal vaccine mandate that allows Biden to discharge healthy active duty service members from my district.

Westerman (R-AR-4) 12/08/2021: Twitter thread – “Yesterday, I voted for the updated NDAA. As I anticipated, the harmful provisions creating Red Flag laws for members of our military and the inclusion of women in the draft were removed. This bill is a win for democracy and a wonderful example of bipartisanship at work. This final version of the NDAA: ✅Reverses @POTUS's dangerous cuts to defense spending ✅Invests in overdue cybersecurity improvements ✅Modernizes our military capabilities ✅Decreases US reliance on China The NDAA also: ✅Holds the Admin accountable for a disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal ✅Requires an investigation into the CCP's involvement in the birth of COVID ✅Holds China accountable for human rights violations ✅Protects servicemembers who decide against the COVID vaccine Our #AR04 neighbors who work in national defense industries, including the thousands of people who work in Camden and its surrounding businesses, will benefit from the 2021 NDAA, and I couldn't be prouder of my vote in favor of it.”
