The White House is ramping up its efforts to keep Republicans in line on President Trump’s border wall, The Washington Post reported.
According to two Senate Republicans who spoke to the Post, the White House in recent days has been calling undecided senators with a warning message: Trump will keep track of those who vote in support of a resolution that blocks the President’s emergency declaration for his wall funding — especially those who are up for reelection in 2020.
The House passed a resolution last month that’s meant to block Trump from using military funding to build his border wall and the Senate is expected to vote on the bill soon. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has already acknowledged the resolution will pass in the Senate — given at least four Republicans have indicated they will support the legislation — and Trump will be forced to veto it.
However, there’s not enough support for the disapproval resolution in the House for the veto to be overturned.
That should be helpful information for any Senators who don’t realize that a man who gropes flags for applause, who wants his political opponents to be thrown in jail, and who insults deceased Senators might not forgive and forget.
message to gooper senators from the WH: You can do the right thing or you can do the abomination’s bidding and then carry on with your career as a fascist politician. Nice thoroughbred you have there, be a shame if anything happened to it.
He wants to take them down with him in 2020.
And voters are tracking who is supporting the wall emergency.
Choose sides.
How dare you make elected members of Congress choose between one man and the number of voters they’ll need to be re-elected. Have you no compassion?
