Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rips House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans for giving up all their leverage and not getting border security passed while giving Biden what he wanted on foreign aid:
“Republicans were sent there and the #1 issue that our voters wanted them to address is the southern border and the massive influx of foreigners by the millions coming into this country — and we don’t know who these people are — and they basically just surrendered on the border. They now have no leverage to do anything on the border. They had an opportunity to insist that Biden accept the border [security] if he wanted all the foreign aid. And they decided to capitulate. And so he got everything he wants. And Republican voters did not get anything with respect to stopping this problem at the southern border.
Look, we’re doing more in Florida to deal with it than Congress is. I mean, it’s just pathetic. I was really, really disappointed to see that they basically capitulated entirely on the border. And at this point, you’re not gonna see anything done on the border for the rest of this year. What, are we just gonna let it in another 2 million people and do nothing about it? I think it was a real, real failure.”
