During a Sunday interview with MSNBCs Alex Witt, Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) detailed what his Budget Committee is considering while it searches for a deal that could end the presidents government shutdown.
What we would demand in return is a sensible policy, the now-Ranking Member said. You know, Alex, we gave the administration 1.3 billion, I think, in the last budget year for border security. They havent spent that.
He noted that this budget argument doesnt actually have anything to do with border security or keeping the country safe. Its about the president himself.
But when it came to the reality of the presidents claim for securing the border, this really isnt about a fence or a barrier or a wall, this is manhood measurement for Donald Trump, thats what it is, Yarmouth said. Hes also proven himself impossible to negotiate with. This is the guy who wrote The Art of The Deal but you cant tell him one thing and have him change his mind in another.
Indeed, the Senate was told by Vice President Mike Pence that the deal would be signed by the president, but at the last minute, he pulled out of the deal. Many officials had already flown home for the holidays, believing the vice president knew what he was talking about, only to be forced to return and search for another budget deal.
