It's not the first time Rep. Troy Nehls has seemed to say the quiet part of loud: In December he suggested impeachment was about giving "ammo" to Trump.

As senators work on a compromise deal to address border security and immigration, at least one Republican is suggesting politics is a key motivator for him.

“Let me tell you, I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating,” Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas told CNN this week. “I will not help the Democrats try to improve this man’s dismal approval ratings. I’m not going to do it. Why would I?”

Nehls indicated he’d accept only a proposal similar to HR 2, a hardline immigration bill that got zero Democratic votes when it passed the House last year.

    If it’s such a big deal, how come when Trump was in the White House and they held both chambers of Congress (~2017–2019), why didn’t they solve the issue then?

        “healthcare” i.e. repealing the Affordable Care Act and replacing it with ‘Thoughts and Prayers’.

          You’ll feel bad when they unveil it and it’s the most perfect plan ever.

            I showed my plan to smart people and they were blown away by the plan. So blown away. My daughter, the one with the nice rack, has knowledge of medicine and she thinks its the most amazing plan.
