They passed border security a year ago. So it was their no. one priority. The Senate Dems blocked it, but that is not Johnson’s fault. You can’t operate on the premise that you aren’t going to do anything else until the Dems pass border security. Or if you do, then I ask why you’re just discovering that now, a year after the Dems blocked it? The GOP has passed a lot of things since then.
Yes, the GOP was in favor of this Ukraine funding. When you add in the GOP votes in the Senate, a majority of Republicans voted for it. Also, the polling shows that it is popular among voters. Even Trump did not oppose it. In fact it was Trump who suggested that it be a loan rather than a gift. So he helped get it passed.
Republicans should pass nothing, absolutely nothing, until they pass the most important issue, NATIONAL SECURITY. Any yes, that includes letting the government shut down (if need be) by not passing ANY spending bills! NONE.
Let the democrats explain to their constituency why they feel national security is not the most important issue facing our country today.
