MAGA Republicans are raging over GOP lawmakers aiding the passage of a provision of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that may allow the FBI to “spy” on Americans.
While the $886 billion bill was notably approved without the inclusion of several culture war amendments that many hard-right Republicans had demanded, it did include the temporary reauthorization of a controversial provision known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
While a selection of lawmakers from across the political spectrum have opposed Section 702 over concerns of privacy and potential abuses of power, a number of MAGA Republicans railed against reauthorization of the measure due to the FBI having surveilled a Trump 2016 campaign aide using unrelated FISA warrants.
“Here is a list of 147 @HouseGOP members who just voted YES on the NDAA without removing funding for the unconstitutional FISA courts,” posted pro-Trump conspiracy theorist and former congressional candidate Laura Loomer.
“147 Republicans just voted to reauthorize the FISA 702 program that was used to illegally spy on President Trump,” posted right-wing commentator Rogan O’Handley, also known as DC Draino.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) recommended that its members vote “no” this week because the bill “contains a reauthorization of surveillance authorities routinely used against Americans in violation of the Constitutional right to privacy.”
