Sen. Markwayne Mullin threw cold water on claim that it was former President Trump who killed the border bill, instead blaming President Biden and Democrats.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., claimed on Friday that the Biden administration was responsible for killing the border security bill, not former President Donald Trump. During an appearance on CNN, Mullin disputed the idea that Trump publicly and privately attempted to quash the bill before it was even introduced. Mullin disagreed with anchor Manu Raju, who suggested that Trump lobbied Senate and House members to prevent the bill from passing.
Chuck Schumer didn't one time reach out to Republicans and try to talk to us. They never had a working group together—,' Mullin said before he was cut off by Raju. Raju asked about Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., the lead GOP negotiator for the Senate border security bill. Lankford, in February, urged critics to read the bill, arguing it would create a 'faster and stronger system' of deportation and 'flip the script' on Biden's immigration policy.
What the left media has done, including yourself, they said it's ‘The Lankford Bill.’ It wasn't the Lankford Bill. Lankford was trying to negotiate on behalf of Republicans. The Democrats not one single time tried to actually negotiate with Republicans,' he said.
