The Oklahoma Republican Party approved a resolution Saturday condemning and censuring Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) for his role as a chief negotiator in the Senate border security talks between Democrats and Republicans.
The resolution — a copy of which was posted on X, formerly Twitter — by state Sen. Dusty Deevers ® said, “Senator Lankford playing fast and loose with Democrats on our border policy not only disfranchises legal immigrants seeking citizenship but it also puts the safety and security of Americans in great danger.”
Senate negotiators have been working for weeks to negotiate a compromise on border and immigration policy that is meant to address the number of migrants who come across the U.S. border with Mexico.
Am I reading this right? They condemned him for leading a negotiation with democrats, which checks notes is his job?
Yep. This is the game now. Republicans are attacking themselves for working with Democrats.
And some people think this’ll get better somehow.
Well if they fix the problem then they won’t have anything to criticize Biden for
It Will get better IF after the 2024 elections the GOP will be left with a minority in both the houses, Congress and senate. At that point it will be only on the democrats to pass legislations, notwithstanding eventual characters like Sinema and Manchin.
Not to be outdone, now there is a comment attacking Democrat leadership for negotiating with Republicans. Jesus fucking christ, people.
They don’t even know what’s in the bill, it’s the concept of creating a bill at all that they’re mad at
