Sen. Durbin: Trump ‘Should Be Blamed For’ Killing Bipartisan Border Bill

EXCERPT:

DURBIN: “Even with all the Democrats, we are not going to pass it, we need 60 votes. What we are calling to the floor is Jim Lankford, the conservative Republican senator from Oklahoma work to create a bipartisan bill with Senators Murphy and Sinema. This bill was accepted and in fact touted as the answer to our problems by many, and then along came Donald Trump's declaration that his loyal Republican should step away from it and that he would accept the blame for that decision. Well, he should be blamed for it. This was a bipartisan effort. This should move forward. We never expected to get all of the Democrats. There are some differences of opinion, but with Republican help, we should be able to pass a good bipartisan bill like this one.”
