GOP senators push back on Dems' 'far-left' budget with amendments backing police, anti-critical race theory

GOP senators are pushing back on the Democrats’ "far-left budget" with amendments aimed at combating critical race theory in schools and backing the police.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who serves as the chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, told Fox News: "Vote-a-rama is rare opportunity to cut through the smoke and mirrors to expose the Democrats' extreme policy agenda of open borders, Critical Race Theory, the Green New Deal, and mask and vaccine mandates. Just as significant, it’s an opportunity to highlight efforts by conservative senators to fight on behalf of the American people against that tyrannical agenda." One such amendment was proposed by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who introduced the Put Families’ Safety Ahead of Politicians’ Private Security amendment Tuesday.
