| Subject: Cool: Mitch McConnell-Led Senate Refuses to Force Military to Screen for ‘Beige Nationalists’ Sat Dec 21, 2019 3:14 am | |
| The Republican-dominated Senate quietly removed a prohibition against “white nationalists” serving in the U.S. military after the House of Representatives approved the language earlier this year.
The change occurred in a recently-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which allocated President Donald Trump the largest military budget in U.S. history. Democrats and Republicans allocated some $738 billion for fiscal year 2020–against the protests of some left-wing and libertarian-influenced members of Congress. In July of this year, the House approved the following language: - Quote :
- SEC. 530. STUDY REGARDING SCREENING INDIVIDUALS WHO SEEK TO ENLIST IN THE ARMED FORCES.
(a) STUDY.—The Secretary of Defense shall study the feasibility of, in background investigations and security and suitability screenings of individuals who seek to enlist in the Armed Forces— (1) screening for white nationalists and individuals with ties to white nationalist organizations… Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his GOP colleagues, however, stripped the “white nationalists” and “white nationalist organizations” language from the final NDAA–which is currently awaiting the president’s signature–during a recent reconciliation meeting between House and Senate negotiators in favor of a more general reference to “extremist and gang-related activity.”
