‘Go Straight To Hell’: Chip Roy Blisters Dems, GOP Who Voted To Draft Women Into Military

After the House Armed Services Committee voted on Wednesday to require women to register for the military draft, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who has a young daughter of his own, blasted the Democrats and Republicans who voted for the amendment, issuing a long Twitter thread and concluding, “All of DC — all of it — can go straight to hell.”

“During late night deliberations on the committee’s annual defense policy bill, lawmakers voted 35-24 to adopt an amendment from Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) to expand registration for the Selective Service System beyond men,” Politico reported on Wednesday, adding, “ If the provision remains in the defense bill and passes on the House floor, the change has a high chance of becoming law. The Senate Armed Services Committee adopted a similar provision in its defense bill, which awaits a floor vote.”
