WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) voted against the D.C. Cartel’s Conference Report to the Woke Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

"Congress has a duty to ensure our military is the most effective fighting force on Earth," said Rep. Rosendale. "That’s why I was proud to vote in favor of the House NDAA earlier this year, which put an end to the Left’s social experiment on our servicemembers and provided them with the resources they need to defend our nation successfully.

"Unfortunately, the D.C. Cartel, comprised of Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans, and Joe Biden, rewrote this legislation to use our military to implement their radical agenda by including taxpayer funding for abortion, gender reassignment surgeries, drag shows on military bases, and Green New Deal provisions. This legislation also stripped my amendment, which would have prevented American citizens from being indefinitely detained without charge or trial.

"Moreover, the Swamp’s version of the NDAA violates the House’s single-subject legislation rule by tacking on a clean extension of FISA Section 702, which continues to allow Biden’s FBI to spy on Americans without a warrant.

"A vote in favor of this bill is a vote to allow the U.S. government to spy on you. A vote in favor of this bill is a vote to allow the U.S. military to pick you up and lock you up in Guantanamo Bay without representation. A vote in favor of this bill is a vote to inflict the radical left’s social experiment on our military and is an insult to our men and women in uniform, which is why I voted NO!"
