EXCLUSIVE: Top Republican tells his colleagues to stay ‘vigilant’ in rolling back Biden’s ‘woke’ diversity and equity military policies – and warns the administration’s ‘total incompetence’ risks U.S. national security

3rd House Republican tells DailyMail.com more needs to be done to reverse President Biden’s military diversity, justice, and inclusion (DEI) policies that endanger US national security to turn.

The House last week passed the $886 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year (FY) 2024, largely along party lines in a vote of 219 to 210 on Friday.

Republicans successfully passed provisions restricting access to abortion for troops, funding transgender medical care and DEI initiatives, but GOP Whip Tom Emmer told DailyMail.com that more needs to be done just days later at the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) summit on Monday.

‘It’s a start. Is it the ultimate answer? No,” he said of the NDAA amendments, saying the GOP can do more to provide compensation for the service members fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine and to put a stop to the Biden administration’s equity push, which he says is detrimental to military preparedness.

“We’re going to have to be vigilant, we’re really going to have to keep leaning on this issue, because this Biden administration, this president and the people around him have a very different view of our fighting power for our country.”

“No strength has come out of this administration,” Whip Emmer told DailyMail.com

He said a huge victory in the NDAA reaffirmed the United States’ relationship with Israel.

Emmer noted that the NDAA approved another $50 million for defense technology research between the US and Israel, which he said was “on top” of the Biden administration’s request.

It also created “joint military operations to try to help both Israel and the US be more effective, not just at home, but around the world.”

The whip said House Republicans have shown they “will not stand for this anti-Israel rhetoric in Congress,” including kicking Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee for her anti-Israel remarks.

He also slammed Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal for saying over the weekend that Israel is a “racist” state and other progressives who have pledged to boycott a speech by Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Congress later this week.

“It really shows the differences in the party,” Emmer added.

Unfortunately, what should be an impartial issue turns out that Republicans know exactly how important this relationship is, how important it is not only to our own existence, but to peace and stability around the world. And our colleagues across the aisle have a very different view of the situation. It’s a wrong opinion.’

The White House announced on Monday that Biden has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States via telephone call. The confirmation comes after a seven-month wait for the invitation and is a sign that tensions between the leaders may have eased.

As for his take on the Biden administration’s overall national security strategy, Emmer says he would call it “stumbling bumbling and sometimes just plain incoherent.”

“I think they’re back to that idea of ​​reconciliation if you’re nice to your enemies. One way or another they will get to your point of view. It doesn’t work that way,” Emmer said of top Biden officials who traveled to China to meet with their counterparts, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and climate czar John Kerry.

“No strength has come out of this administration,” he told DailyMail.com.

“This is a worthless government with incompetent policies. We’ve seen it in Afghanistan. We’ve seen it in their way of dealing with our other enemies around the world. This is simply nothing new, and unfortunately it is something that Republicans must continue to pay attention to.”

“This policy, whether Blinken, whether it is [National Security Adviser] Jake Sullivan, whoever it is, it’s total incompetence. And frankly, it’s not only endangering our national security, it’s also causing problems around the world.”

“The only way to ensure peace is to have a strong United States and our allies like Israel,” he continued.

The whip also targeted the Biden administration’s announcement to send 3,000 troops to Eastern Europe.

He called it a “regular rotation” that happened twice under former President Trump, but said his only problem with the move is that “you can’t trust this president or the administration with whatever other behind-the-scenes discussions they’re having or promising.” . they make.’

He cited the “failed and tragic” Afghan government withdrawal and “giving away” Bagram Air Base in Kabul to the Taliban as a key example.

He said the US has left behind “billions of dollars in equipment” and many of “our friends and allies in Afghanistan” who have caused major problems.

“This is one where you just have to keep paying attention and try to hold this administration accountable for doing things out of sight before they become a problem,” he told DailyMail.com.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., will meet later Monday with the Gold Star families of the troops killed in a bombing run in Afghanistan during the 2021 army withdrawal.

Emmer told DailyMail.com that his message to the families who have experienced the tragedy of losing a loved one is simple: “Thank you, and we will never forget.”

“They are doing the highest calling you can do to protect the freedoms this country is so proud of. So their sacrifice was not in vain.’
