GOP Senator Slams Republicans For Conspiring To Trash Border Deal
HuffPost
James Lankford of Oklahoma ripped his fellow Republicans for putting politics ahead of an issue they profess to care so much about.
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) on Sunday blasted his GOP colleagues for their about-face on a bipartisan border deal, accusing them of putting politics ahead of what they claim to see as a major national security interest. (Watch the video below.)
Senators appear to be caving to a reported demand from former President Donald Trump to tank the deal currently in the works ― which would snatch an accomplishment away from President Joe Biden months ahead of the November election, where Trump is the front-runner for the GOP nomination.
Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday” asked Lankford why he would want to let Biden take a victory lap in an election year, and she repeated GOP claims that the proposed measures would still let in many immigrants.
Lankford, the GOP’s lead negotiator, said the bill is focused on preventing all illegal crossings with no amnesty, Mediaite reported.
He chastised his fellow Republicans in Congress for potentially sabotaging action on a central concern for the GOP and its voters, and hinted at the hypocrisy of it.
