Rep. Chip Roy criticized Marjorie Taylor Greene’s agreement with House GOP leadership to secure a vote on her anti-transgender bill in exchange for her support on an NDAA procedural vote. Greene defended the deal and accused Roy of trying to weaken her bill.
Rep. Chip Roy said Greene was given a promised vote on her bill to secure her support for the National Defense Authorization Act rule. Greene said she changed her vote on the rule in exchange for a floor vote on the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, which she said would make providing gender-transition care to a minor a felony.
Greene later said she had voted against final passage of the NDAA because of foreign-war funding and accused Roy of trying to weaken her bill through an amendment. She also said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise had promised the bill would receive a vote.
