As senators work on a compromise deal to address border security and immigration, at least one Republican is suggesting politics is a key motivator for him.
“Let me tell you, I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating,” Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas told CNN this week. “I will not help the Democrats try to improve this man’s dismal approval ratings. I’m not going to do it. Why would I?”
Nehls indicated he’d accept only a proposal similar to HR 2, a hardline immigration bill that got zero Democratic votes when it passed the House last year.
If it improves the President’s approval rating, doesn’t that suggest that it’s something Americans need or want?
“[…] I’m not going to do it. Why would I?”
Indeed. Why help the American people, Congressman?
So, it’s not about what’s best for America you say? Gotcha.
Oops, said the quiet part out loud again.
“We will not do the things our constituents ask unless we get all of the credit.”
Nah they won’t do it even if they do get the credit
i mean that’s pretty much the same story about immigration for the last 40 years and it’s why nothing has gotten done. they’d rather use immigrants as wedge issues then do something about the problem.
They also like to use them as cheap labor. The American system can’t function without them. But hush, hush, we don’t like to talk about that part.
Stupid donkey gets to stay on the farm. Pathetic.
“Party over country.” That’s their stance.
Trump over donors, donors over religion, religion over party, party over family, family over so-called conservative principles (oxymoron)and country several steps lower than that.
Unhung traitors kill republics.
Shouldn’t it be “unhanged”?
Oh dear. Yes, possibly
Tbf, I’ve also heard they have tiny penises.
Fitting that one of their leaders is a weak Johnson.
I never thought I would, but I kinda miss the time when Republicans would lie about their motivations for being awful.
This whole “mask off but still no consequences” bullshit is even more frustrating than when everyone knew but most people refused to acknowledge it 😮💨
