Republican Senator Gives Away the Game on Why They Killed Border Deal
Republican Senator Gives Away the Game on Why They Killed Border Deal
Josh Hawley is admitting point-blank this fight was never about the border at all.
You're viewing a single thread.
Of course. Hawley is a traitorous coward.
Republicans would rather tank the country than pass good law under a Democratic president.
And they have on more than one occasion. It blows my mind that anyone could think of them as the fiscally responsible party. Then again, they also pretend to be the party of morality, so that all tracks.
They are fiscally conservative in name only.
This just happened in my state when Democrats wanted to provide breakfast and lunch for students. A Republican said "But we can hire more teachers!"
Someone asked, "So you would support a bill using this money to hire more teachers?"
You can imagine his response.
These assholes use these excuses to get in the news and get in sound bites. They should never be trusted by themselves.
They are fiscally conservative in name only.
Just look at the deficit/surplus numbers, by party. It's plain as day.
The party of fiscal responsibility loves to crow about irresponsible spending until they're the ones doing it.
If the Dems agreed to a Republican law, the Republicans would probably filibuster their own law.
That is what happened here. Republicans came to the table and said “we will give you Ukraine aid if we get a border deal”. Biden undercut progressives and started making offers that Republicans wanted for Ukraine aid and to put his name on the border deal. So Republicans took their ball and went home.
Oh, well it wouldn't be the first time.

Right, the entire point was to make their fake border crisis seem legitimate by placing it in the same rhetorical box as a genocide in Ukraine. And super Saiyan Biden called their bluff like a boss.
There was an amendment to Obamacare that was almost exactly that. It was hilarious, except for how they spun it for the next decade.
