In closing, I would just say the gentleman in his introduction of the amendment said that while President Trump-- he talked about President Trump and the riots that took place last summer--he said, well, I would just point out that while President Trump was talking about deploying the military to deal with the riots that were happening in so many major urban areas around our great country, what were Democrats doing? What were Democrats doing? They were defunding the police, and they were raising money to bail the very rioters out who were destroying property and attacking police officers to raise money to bail those individuals out of jail. And now here tonight we have some policy that hasn't been through committee and hasn't been through any process trying to be put into the National Defense Authorization Act. Again, Madam Speaker, I urge opposition to this, and I yield back the balance of my time.
