SENATE TABLES THE TRANSFER OF TANKS AND AIRCRAFT TO THE GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT….
THANKS DPS
Just to clarify, the vote was to ‘table’ the amendment which is why there are more YEAs than NAYs.
Rand Paul’s amendment “To prohibit the sale, lease, transfer, retransfer, or delivery of F-16 aircraft, M1 tanks, or certain other defense articles or services to the Government of Egypt” failed in the Senate today by a vote of 79-19.
The only 19 Senators who tried to block the transfer of weapon’s to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood were:
Boozman (R-AR)
Coats (R-IN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Cruz (R-TX)
