GOP Sen. Thom Tillis says he'll vote for resolution blocking Trump's emergency declaration
The Washington Times ^ | February 25, 2019 | Victor Morton

Sen. Thom Tillis said in a column posted Monday evening that he will oppose President Trump’s declaration of a border-security emergency.

In an op-ed for the Washington Post, the North Carolina Republican said he would support a resolution blocking Mr. Trump’s decree when it comes before the Senate.

“I would vote in favor of the resolution disapproving of the president’s national-emergency declaration, if and when it comes before the Senate,” he concluded the column after laying out his support for Mr. Trump’s border-security agenda in general and criticizing Democrats’ obstructionism on the matter.

But he said it’s a matter of separation of powers and warned Republicans that declaring states of emergency to get around Congress could come back to bite them.

No, he represents what the modern Republican Party supports, open borders for big donors

The real “RINO” is Trump, who’s fighting the GOP open borders agenda

Just another low life democrat infiltrator. If it were not for vote fraud then he would never be elected again.

Bet if some MS-13 member gang-raped his wife, he’d change his tune.

Be a darned shame if that should happen....yep, a darned shame.

This jerk is in the back pocket of the Chamber of Corruption. This is all smoke and mirrors on Tillis’s part. He does not support a wall; he is an open borders advocate. He is trying to fool the rubes back home that he is opposing Trump on principle when he actually is doing the bidding of the open borders lobby.

Thom Tillis is pathetic.

WOW what an absolute DUMB ASS..he acts like the Dems wouldn’t do whatever they wanted if they had the chance. They are just making this excuse because in reality, they don’t want the wall, they never did. When Paul Ryan told President Trump in 2017 that the GOP would vote against the wall, he was right, they would, because they value cheap labor more than American citizens lives

North Carolina would be better off with Mel Tillis. And he’s dead.
