Kellyanne Conway says House Republicans failed Trump on border wall funding
By John Wagner February 27 at 9:28 AM
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday sharply criticized House Republicans for failing to deliver sufficient border wall funding to President Trump when they controlled the chamber and cited that as a justification for his emergency declaration.
“There’s no question the Republican House failed, and they failed us in securing the border, but they also failed to make good on the promise to him that we would get that money for the wall,” Conway said. “They completely lied about that.”
Her comments, on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” came a day after the House, now led by Democrats, passed a resolution to overturn Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on the southern border.
The measure, which passed 245 to 182, aims to thwart Trump’s use of the declaration to direct billions of dollars more in funding to border barriers than Congress has authorized. Democrats argued Tuesday that the move guts the Constitution.
