'So Pathetically Weak': Gavin Newsom Exposes GOP's 'Shameful' Approach To Border Deal
HuffPost
The California governor broke down why Republicans "don't want a deal, period" to address the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom took aim at “pathetically weak” Republicans following President Donald Trump’s pressuring of GOP lawmakers to pass on any bipartisan border deal.
Newsom, in an interview for MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” Thursday, knocked comments by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-K.Y.) who reportedly told GOP colleagues that the “politics on this have changed” as Trump wants to focus on immigration in his run for the White House.
“We don’t want to do anything to undermine him,” said McConnell of the former president, according to Punchbowl News.
Newsom told Wagner that the report about McConnell was “shameful.”
“That he’s just completely rolling over and capitulating. Don’t even get me started with the weakness of the current speaker of the House. I mean, they don’t want a deal, period, full stop. They don’t want a deal. They don’t want to make this a quote unquote campaign win for Joe Biden,” Newsom said.
