(FOX NEWS) – Lawmakers within the GOP's right flank are pushing amendments to the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would tank funding for Ukraine.
The lawmakers have sought to add various poison pills to prevent the NDAA from making it through a House vote, including measures that would affect the Pentagon's abortion policies and other social issues. Leading the charge is the GOP's House Freedom Caucus, whose members, including Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., have long opposed U.S. support for Ukraine's defense.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who was in the Freedom Caucus until recently, proposed an amendment cutting some $300 million in new funding for Ukraine. That amendment was just one of six Greene proposed, with the other five focusing on banning Pentagon funding for gender transition services and cutting DEI initiatives, among other things.
