Davis (R-IL-13) 01/03/2022: Twitter thread – “It's a good thing for our country's national security that President Biden was forced to sign the FY22 NDAA over the objections of his liberal allies and others in Congress who are seeking to defund the military. Davis Touts Defense Funding Bill Signed into Law - Congressman Rodney Davis I was proud to vote in support of this legislation because it boosts defense funding, reverses President Biden's proposed cuts to our military, gives our troops a well-deserved pay raise, and provides for Illinois National Guard funding I requested with @RepLaHood. I'm also proud to say that Republicans successfully included provisions to restrict Biden's ability to dishonorably discharge troops who decline the COVID vaccine while also forcing his Admin. to account for his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, among many other good provisions. We must never allow politics to get in the way of funding our military and our country's national security. I'm glad that Republicans in Congress did more than our part to get the job done.”
