“House Republicans were crystal clear from the very beginning of discussions that any so-called national security supplemental legislation must recognize that national security begins at our own border,” U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote on Twitter.
They rejected the best deal any republican is likely to see on the issue for the foreseeable future a couple weeks ago. Johnson is completely and totally full of shit.
His marching orders are to keep the narrative alive that the border is unsafe until the election.
Deal on the table to fix everything they’re complaining about? Reject it.
Voters don’t pay attention, especially not his voters, so it’s safe for him and will help out any republican in a tight race. It’s disgusting, but tactically sound.
Exactly it. I’ve heard a couple of coworkers regurgitating this bs. It saddens me how stupid people can be.
