Matt Gaetz Suffers Shock Bill Defeat as Nine Republicans Vote Against Him (newsweek.com) . . ."Force-feeding wokeness to our service members DILUTES military readiness!" Gaetz tweeted on June 23. "Our military should focus on winning an actual conflict rather than losing a misguided culture war."
The nine Republicans who joined Democrats to vote down the Gaetz amendment were Congress members Don Bacon, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Anthony D'Esposito, Brian Fitzpatrick, Jenniffer González-Colón, John James, Mike Lawler, Marcus Molinaro and Mike Turner.
Newsweek has contacted Representative Gaetz's Washington D.C. office for comment, by email and answer phone message.
Separately, an amendment from GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene which would have eliminated $300 million in funding for Ukraine from the NDAA was voted down on a bipartisan basis, with 89 Republican representatives in favor and 130 voting against.
