CNN’s Blitzer: ‘What’s So Difficult’ About Giving Migrants Toothpaste, Soap, Diapers?

EXCERPT:

BLITZER: “These kids, they need toothpaste, they need soap. The toddlers, they need diapers. What's so difficult about making sure, Ryan Lizza, that these kids get that kind of badly needed stuff?”

LIZZA: “You know, for Democrats who are torn on this issue, the issue is all the other stuff in the bill, right? And increasingly in the last couple of decades we’ve seen when you have divided government, one party in the House is always tempted to use the power of the purse to stop a policy they don’t like, and along with that, a lot of stuff they might support gets stopped. We saw this with Democrats in the war in Iraq who wanted to hold up Pentagon funding during that period, or Republicans and ObamaCare where they wanted to uphold funding for that and it gets in the way of other priorities.”
