By a vote of 218-208, Democrats pass an amendment to the 2023 NDAA that would require white supremacists, Nazi-supporters, and extremists to be removed from the military.

The claim states that Democrats passed an amendment to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) by a vote of 218-208 that would require white supremacists, Nazi-supporters, and extremists to be removed from the military. Multiple sources confirm that an amendment with this vote count was passed along party lines, with all Democrats voting in favor and Republicans opposing.thehill.comthehill.comHouse approves measure to monitor white supremacy in military, law enforcement

However, the nature of the amendment is more nuanced than the claim suggests. The amendment primarily compels government officials to prepare reports on instances of white supremacist and neo-Nazi activity within uniformed services and federal law enforcement agencies rather than mandating immediate removal or expulsion of such individuals from the military. Some sources note that provisions directly targeting hate groups were removed or softened in the final NDAA version.newsweek.comnewsweek.comHouse Republicans All Vote Against Neo-Nazi Probe of Military, Police

The claim's wording implies a direct requirement for removal from service, which overstates the amendment's immediate effect. Additionally, some commentary frames the amendment as a monitoring and reporting measure rather than an enforcement action. The vote count and partisan split are accurate, but the functional impact described is somewhat simplified.

There is also partisan framing in some sources that interpret 'extremists' broadly or politically, but this does not change the factual basis of the vote or amendment content. Overall, the claim is mostly accurate regarding the vote and intent but slightly misleading about the amendment's direct operational effect.
