Talks between Trump and Congressional leaders exploded when Democrats showed disrespect towards the DHS Secretary. Fox News reports:
President Trump has called for congressional leaders to return to the White House on Friday, top Republicans said shortly after a hotly anticipated, contentious closed-door meeting on border security in the Situation Room concluded Wednesday afternoon.
The sit-down apparently ended without any progress made in resolving the ongoing partial federal government shutdown that has persisted for 12 days, and one senior GOP official said Democrats didn’t seem interested in listening to what Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen had to say.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and top House Republicans Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Steve Scalise, R-La., attended the meeting in the high-security enclave of the White House, which typically is used to handle sensitive information. The location meant that the conversation was not televised, unlike the volatile sitdown during which Democratic leaders talked back to Trump last month.
“We do have a crisis on the border right now. We had a violent mob rush yesterday — we had a challenge there,” McCarthy said outside the White House after the meeting, referring to the 150 migrants who were repelled by tear gas on New Year’s Day at the southern border. “The president has asked us to come back Friday, after the [House] leadership races, to try to get this all done.”
Hopefully, Democrats will come to their senses and agree to Border security funding, something they’ve endorsed in the past but are now firmly opposed to because President Trump is the one proposing it.
One wonders where the next Charleston Harbor/Ft. Sumter will be. The only thing that is certain is that the Democrats will fire the first shots- again. Preparation, alertness, and valor are the new watchwords.
Why aren’t these meeting televised nationally? Why don’t the citizens have access to what’s going on behind closed doors? No wonder our government has become so ponderous and non productive. If we were given the opportunity to watch this gang in action we might vote the whole bunch out and start fresh. We are their employers, it’s time to increase production or issue separation papers. We have sunshine laws, lets demand they are used.
We need to submerge the Demonicrats via the Hs & Sn web pages, with calls for those who oppose funding improved security for the US to take the doors off their houses….
they should place those meetings on live tv
Wouldn’t matter… The DemocRATS would still lie. Kind of like how they “forgot” they supported the wall a mere 4 years ago!
