Ah, how times change.
Back before he was President Trump’s incoming acting-chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney dismissed Trump’s plan to prevent illegal immigration by building a massive southern border wall as “absurd and almost childish.”
CNN’s K-File on Friday surfaced the 2015 clip of Mulvaney mocking the then-GOP presidential candidate’s overly simplistic views on immigration in in an interview with a South Carolina radio station.
“The fence doesn’t solve the problem. Is it necessary to have one, sure? Would it help? Sure,” Mulvaney said on WRHI. “But to just say build the darn fence and have that be the end of an immigration discussion is absurd and almost childish for someone running for president to take that simplistic of [a] view.”
Mulvaney has since become a staunch defender of the President’s signature border wall. This afternoon, with the government on the brink of shutting down over Trump’s refusal to sign a funding bill that doesn’t include $5 billion for the wall, Mulvaney huddled in Senate Minority Chuck Schumer’s office with other administration officials to try to negotiate a solution that would appease Trump.
And is ironically now being pursued by an absurd child.
weird…
What’s the percentage chance that Mulvaney actually starts in his position as “Acting Chief of Staff” as more and more of these anti-Trump clips surface?
Bets on how many Scaramuccis? I’m going to take the under on 5.
Let’s all hope that the DOTUS drops this hack like a 10 day old Mooch…
He is one of the clowns that actually knows how to trash the system…
“No, YOU’RE absurd and almost childish!”, the absurd child will soon shout from the Resolute High Chair.
