Statement on the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024

WASHINGTON - Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) issued the following statement Thursday after voting against H.R. 2670:

Once again, House leadership teamed up with more Democrat than Republicans to pass a White House-endorsed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that greenlights nearly every one of President Biden's radical policies at the Pentagon.

From endorsing Biden's illegal abortion tourism fund, taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries, Chief Diversity Officers, and his climate hysteria agenda, 147 Republicans rubber stamped every single one of these priorities.

To make it even worse, swamp leadership airdropped a 16-month extension of FISA into the NDAA that extends spying authorities that the FBI and intelligence community regularly use to violate the 4th Amendment Rights of Americans.

I was proud to support the House Conference's strong NDAA passed out of the House earlier this year. However, I could not vote for a swamp deal that bargained away almost every policy win in that version of the bill. America, her military, and our men and women in uniform deserve better than the Washington status quo.
