Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) said that even though “things got a little western” in the contentious Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Democratic leaders Tuesday, he was “proud” of the President’s performance.

“We elected President Trump, we elect Presidents, to ensure they protect our country. This is about border security,” Daines said on Fox News.
