At a press conference on Capitol Hill Tuesday, House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-CA) said “MAGA Republicans in the House and Senate are walking away from a bipartisan deal that would strengthen border security, support Israel, and help Ukraine stop Putin’s march through Europe because Donald Trump ordered them to do so.”
“In the shameful display of partisanship, they’re abdicating their responsibility to solve problems on behalf of the American people,” Aguilar continued. “Even Mitch McConnell has surrendered to Vladimir Putin and he surrendered to Donald Trump.”
“The floor speeches, the photo ops, the constant attacks from Republicans were always done in bad faith. And now everyone can see that this was never about securing the border. This was never about migrants. This was never about protecting our country. Just like the baseless impeachments and everything else the MAGA Republicans have pretended to care about, it has always been about helping Donald Trump become president again,” Aguilar added.
