Graham Calls Sinema Border Bill “Half-Ass”

Newser-

Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border bill on Wednesday, and independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is steamed. On Thursday, the upper chamber voted to start working on separate $95 billion legislation regarding aid for Ukraine and Israel—which Republicans originally indicated they wanted tied to the border bill that they ultimately rejected. Some GOPers wanted to return to the border issue, suggesting tweaking some of the language to make the bill stricter on that matter, and South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham was one of them. “I am not going to put Ukraine, Israel, or anybody else ahead of America,” Graham insisted, per the AP. “I am going to try to create an outcome where the bill gets through the House. It’s got to get through the House.”

Sinema pushed back at Graham, blasting him for voting to rebuff even a conversation on the topic during the first vote on Wednesday, when he could’ve discussed any amendments he had in mind. “If we had wanted to have a robust debate … the time to do that would have been yesterday,” the Arizona senator noted. That’s when the “fireworks started to fly,” as the Hill puts it. “This has been a half-ass effort to deal with border security,” Graham scoffed, adding that “the fix is in,” and that he didn’t think Democrats would’ve given him the chance to add any meaningful amendments that had a chance of passing.

  1. Chris Murphy (D) said yesterday that the illegal aliens were “the most important people.” Live on elite media. He didn’t even stop and think, “oh shit, I said that out loud.” Nope, just kept on going because he really thinks that and he gives no shit about what the country is dealing with.

    Get going on the pressure to remove of those voting machines, people. No D or R is re-lected for 12 terms straight without some shady stuff going on.
