CNN’s Bash to Gov. Hutchinson: Is Your Sending 40 Members of Ark. Nat’l Guard to the Southern Border ‘a Political Gesture’?

‘The former head of the Customs and Border Protection under Pres. Obama told CNN that moves like this are ‘political theater’’

EXCERPT:

BASH: "You announced you're sending up to 40 members of the Arkansas National Guard down to the Texas border. The former head of the Customs and Border Protection under President Obama told CNN that moves like this are 'political theater.' You're a former undersecretary of Homeland Security. Is it fair to say that this is more of a political gesture than actually helping the situation?"

HUTCHINSON: "No, I disagree with that completely. And what they've given to us on the border is a political nightmare. And so it deserves a cooperative response between the states and the federal government.”
