CRTV host Michelle Malkin said that Congressional Republicans looking to retain power are standing in the way of President Trump’s border security demands.
Malkin said on “Fox & Friends” that there has been a longstanding battle within the Republican Party between those who value “cheap labor” more than the country’s safety and those who support Trump’s agenda.
“The biggest enemies here are not necessarily the open-borders Democrats. They’re doing what they always do. It is those Republicans in Washington, D.C. who are willing to throw President Trump and his voters and supporters under the bus to preserve their own power,” she said.
“Good riddance to Paul Ryan, and I wish Mitch McConnell would take a clue and go out to pasture as well,” Malkin said. – READ MORE
