'Complete capitulation' by Democrats on NDAA
Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) (pointing finger) led the fight in the House to pass the NDAA. He was a leading proponent of Trump's Space Force proposal that was included in the NDAA. |
The House voted yesterday to approve the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2020 with the Senate expected to soon follow. The final tally was 377-48 with 188 Democrats voting in favor of the massive military authorization.
Smith called the NDAA legislation “the most progressive defense bill in the history of the country.”
"There are many things you can call the bill, but it's Orwellian to call it progressive," said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.). "We can't just rhetorically give standing ovations when the president says we're going to end endless wars and continue to vote to fund them."
Many Democrats in Congress have been eager to claim that the Space Force was their own agenda.
“Trump’s belated support for a Space Force does not make this a Republican idea,” said Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.), who chairs the House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee.
Wow! All of our priorities have made it into the final NDAA: Pay Raise for our Troops, Rebuilding our Military, Paid Parental Leave, Border Security, and Space Force! Congress – don’t delay this anymore! I will sign this historic defense legislation immediately!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 11, 2019
