'It's Betrayal': Republicans Go Ballistic Over Bipartisan Border Bill They Demanded
HuffPost
Many on the right now oppose increasing border security — both in the U.S. and in Ukraine.
WASHINGTON ― The ink is barely dry on the bipartisan compromise legislation seeking to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, but many Republicans are already up in arms and vowing to oppose it tooth and nail ahead of a procedural Senate vote this week.
“This is worse than bad negotiation. It’s betrayal. The Senate GOP can still stop it if 41 will stand together,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote Sunday in a post on X, formerly Twitter, urging his Senate colleagues to filibuster it.
“I cannot understand how any Republican would think this was a good idea—or anything other than an unmitigated disaster. WE NEED NEW LEADERSHIP — NOW,” the conservative senator said in another post.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) piled on, calling the proposal “an utter disaster.”
“This…is…INSANE,” he wrote on X.
