Sullivan stated on CNN’s State Of The Union:
This nationwide protection invoice would eradicate funding for service members’ journey to states the place abortion is authorized, block Effectively, this laws is rarely attending to the president’s desk, as a result of what you could have seen from an excessive group of Republicans is to place ahead a set of amendments that attempt to combine home social debates with the wants, the safety wants, of our nation.
…
Jake, at finish of the day, this Protection Authorization Act, Jake, from my perspective, is admittedly a couple of bipartisan train in defending America, defending People’ nationwide safety.
And, traditionally, 12 months after 12 months, you could have seen the Protection Authorization Act move with overwhelming bipartisan majorities. We must always not stroll away from that. This must be an space the place politics stops and nationwide safety begins. And we imagine that, on the finish of the day, after the Senate has completed its work, after the Senate has come again along with the Home, we’ll find yourself in a spot the place there’s a broad bipartisan invoice that may go to the president’s desk that he can signal.
That’s what is critical for our women and men in uniform and to maintain religion with the American folks our elementary responsibility to maintain them secure.
Home Republicans used the NDAA as a political prop. They stuffed the laws filled with unpopular tradition struggle concepts that may by no means move the Senate.
Kevin McCarthy has made a often bipartisan course of hostile and troublesome by caving to the far proper and including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who isn’t on the Armed Companies Committee, to the NDAA convention committee.
Home Republicans have turned one of the vital non-controversial tasks of Congress into partisan warfare. Similar to on the debt restrict, Home Republicans aren’t going to get what they need.
Sullivan was appropriate. The Home GOP handed NDAA was useless from the second it handed, and it has zero probability of ever changing into regulation.
