Sarah Sanders: Dems ‘Care More About Playing Politics Than They Do About Protecting Americans’

EXCERPT:

EARHARDT: “What did you make of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer? They came out, and they were standing behind that podium, and Chuck Schumer said that he -- he thought that the wall was unnecessary. But then if you look at what he said back in June 24th, 2009, he said we need to create a significant barrier. So why the change of heart? Is it just because they want to go against the president, they don’t want to win for him?"
SANDERS: "I can’t find a single other reason other than they want to fight this president on every single thing. They care more about playing politics than they do about protecting Americans. I think what we saw last night was, frankly, pathetic excuse. If this is the face and the future of the Democrat party, I think things are looking really good for Republicans. But what our focus here is making sure that we get border security. We’ve laid out a very clear proposal. In fact, in that proposal we listed things that the Democrats wanted us to do, demonstrating our willingness to work together with Democrats. They said they didn’t want a concrete wall, so we made it a steel barrier. They requested specific types of technology to be included at ports of entry, we put that in our proposal. We have shown our willingness to work with them, now they have to show that they’re willing to do their jobs and do something other than fight this president."
