Bonnie Pauly Serwacki With regard to the national defense bill that included the so-called red flag provision - I voted the opposite of the liberal Democrats. AOC, Omar, Bush - the whole squad voted against the bill because it was too pro-military. The provision that everyone is talking about being a red flag law was actually a dead provision. It’s NOT in the final bill text that we will vote on in the coming weeks. Oh and the provision was only applicable to military - not civilians. Regardless, I would never support a red flag law. Every single member of Congress knew this red flag law was dead on arrival BEFORE the vote but they didn’t want the hassle of explaining their vote. Quite literally, Republicans were saying they weren’t going to vote for the bill because they said their base wouldn’t understand that the provision was dead and they didn’t want to take the time to explain that. Everyone knew that someone was going to post something ridiculous on social media and everyone would freak out.
Look at who is fundraising off it… kinda tells you everything you need to know.
I, however have faith that our people are smart and deserve to really know what’s in a bill. True free thinkers will be able to cut through the BS and understand that this is a much bigger fight than can be summed up in a tweet.
What I voted for was:
Forcing Biden to get Americans out of Afghanistan
Prohibiting him from sending money to the Taliban
Requiring a full accounting and a plan to get/or destroy assets left behind
Sending troops to the southwest border (FINALLY!)
prohibiting Chinese products in our military supply chain
completing a full investigation into the Wuhan lab
Prohibiting dishonorable discharges for our service members who refuse the vaccine
protecting the first amendment rights of service members from the woke left and activist generals
restoring the Iron Dome funding that Nancy Pelosi and the Squad stripped out of the CR earlier in the week.
A pay increase for our troops
That’s what I voted for.
But you aren’t hearing about that are you? There is NO red flag law in the final bill that we will be voting on in several weeks. It was literally a ploy for the Democrats to tell their base they were going after guns. Why would Gaetz and Cawthorn vote yes? Why would the sponsor of reciprocity bill in congress for this bill? Why would any true conservative vote yes if there was a true red flag in it? Makes you wonder…. Hum, maybe someone or some group is making money off this outrage politics?
I would start asking why so many Members of congress voted against our military and ACTUALLY holding this administration accountable.
This is why we need single issue bills so there isn’t this confusion.
