In February, a border bill – which included $95 billion in foreign aid that had nothing to do with the border – was defeated in a procedural vote (needing 60 votes to move ahead) by 49 in favor to 50 opposed. With four exceptions, every Republican voted against it.
In May, a reworked version of the border bill was introduced. It failed by a procedural vote of 43 – 50. With one exception, every Republican voted against it.
For months now, Democrats, supported by most of our media, have referred to this as a “bipartisan” border bill, and used it to somehow blame Repubicans for the 3 1/2 years of our wide-open southern border and the millions upon millions of illegals who have crossed it.
My question: What possible basis do Democrats, and their lapdog media, have for calling either of these bills “bipartisan”?
It certainly can’t be because one Republican – that’s right, just one – was involved in putting them together. That does not – can not – negate the fact that for both incarnations of this bill, over 90% of all Republicans voted against it.
You’ve got my question. And now I’ll wait for a logical answer.
But I don’t think I’m going to get one.
