.@PeteButtigieg on the GOP's cynical border sabotage: "You've got the Congressional GOP, talking about the border, every chance they got. So you would think that they would be interested in addressing it. And yet, when [there was] a bipartisan bill put together by one of the most conservative members of the Senate and Democrats...it looked like there was going to be a chance to do something real, with real resources at the border. Only for Donald Trrump, who's not even an elected official to come in and kill it with the chill that he put on Congressional Republicans. So yeah, we can either solve problems or have them be political footballs."
@Lis_Smith @Chasten @PeteButtigieg Thank you for posting this Lis. Squawk is deliberately not doing so, and that is very disappointing.
@Lis_Smith @Chasten @PeteButtigieg In a just world, Republican behavior on the border issue should be an absolute deal breaker for voters.
@Lis_Smith @PeteButtigieg They addressed it with HR2. The Senate never considered it. The Bill you speak of is garbage. It does not do what it pretends to do.
@Lis_Smith @Chasten @PeteButtigieg Nothing more cynical than putting a provision for 5,000/day illegals before closing the border when you can close it now after 7M came in.
@Lis_Smith @PeteButtigieg I admit it. I'm smitten with him! I hope I live long enough to see him sworn in as president of our country one day.
@Lis_Smith @PeteButtigieg Imagine the day, and it’s coming, that Pete runs for President. It’s people like him that give me hope for the future of the USA.
@Lis_Smith @PeteButtigieg I wish he had the ability/ time to spread the message, he is the good standard in messaging
@Lis_Smith @Chasten @PeteButtigieg Democrats this man is our future
