Gohmert: Military Shouldn’t Be Bargaining Chip in Funding Talks

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With the possibility of another government funding showdown on the table, East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert is wasting no time ensuring that military pay will not be used as a bargaining chip. And KETK reports he’s taking on his own party to do so. Gohmert has introduced a bill to avoid a repeat of the shutdown debate last spring. That was when GOP leaders portrayed approval of a massive funding bill as a vote for or against U.S. troops. Gohmert says the military ought to be off the table.
