McConnell Repeatedly Dodges Whether He Supports Trump’s Border Wall

‘I want to try to achieve border security in whatever way is the most effective’

RAJU: "Do you support his central policy idea to build a wall on the border with Mexico?"
MCCONNELL: "Well, I'm not going to go back and relitigate the events of the past. We have a new president. I'd like for him to get off on a positive start. And I think we should look forward, and not backward and kind of rehash and relitigate the various debates we had both internally and with the Democrats over the past year."
RAJU: "What about the wall?"
MCCONNELL: "We're going to be talking to the president about his agenda. Border security is important. I think even our Democratic friends realize we haven done a very good job of that. And achieving border security is something I think ought to be high on the list."
RAJU: "Do you have a personal preference on the wall?"
MCCONNELL: "I want to try to achieve border security in whatever way is the most effective."
