Incoming GOP Senate Whip Thune: ‘Not a Big Fan’ of Reallocating Money to Wall
Breitbart ^ | December 18, 2018 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 12/19/2018 9:02:05 AM PST by conservative98

Anchor Neil Cavuto asked, “Are you of the mindset that reallocating funds from another department, let’s say Defense, is a wise strategy, or would that be rejected out of hand?”

Thune responded, “I’m not a big fan of moving money. I think Defense ought to — we ought to be building airplanes and ships and all the things that we need to do to defend the country. But there are always dollars in budgets that you can move around, and in the Homeland Security budget, for example. And that’s the way that the appropriators came up with a mechanism that would allow another roughly billion dollars to be used for border security, but limited to border security measures other than a fence, other than a border wall, which is what the Democrats have been advocating for.”

These guys are all liars, both sides. So when Thune says “there’s a billion dollars for border security” I note that he didn’t say “additional dollars” and he used the generic “border security” not wall. So I am assuming, since he’s a liar as they all are, that he’s lying. And thus I further assume that he’s talking about money that already was going to border security, like funding ICE and the Border Patrol.

Exactly and the $5b the Houe passed couldn’t be used for any wall, just “border security.” These Congressmen really suck.

Why would that happen? The US Congress is the Muslim world's best friend, next to the ACLU.

It wouldn’t and I didn’t say it would, only that it would be more fitting

More of why I am becoming more and more disgusted with this country every day.

Despicable GOP, Gutless Other Party.

The GOP is going to end up a regional Party after Trump.

Bought and paid for by the former US, now World Chamber of Commerce. Their new motto: no number of raped, robbed or murdered Americans by our illegal immigrant is too big! Our bottom line is what counts, not our former countrymen, neighbors or their families!

Thune is a Chamber paid slave, like most of the GOP. They disgust me more than the Democrats. The Democrats want votes and power, the GOP whores are in it for $$$, the only reason.

It would be horrible if his wife or two daughters were killed by an illegal drunk driver, just a shame if that happened.

The case of an illegal Mexican immigrant who had three prior criminal convictions involving alcohol made national headlines.

Alfredo Ramos gets 24 years in Virginia Beach teens' deaths

Lest we forget.

RIP

Cavuto has become a real douche bag nevertrumper. His guests are fellow nevertrumpers just like RINO Thune.

“Our only hope ...is for a massive lightning strike to hit the Capital and take out all who are in the building.”

When I interned for a Congressman he arranged for the Capital Architect to take us on a tour of the rotunda all the way to the top, outside, just under the “Statue of Freedom.” There is plenty of lightning protections built in, considering the dome was made from cast iron painted to look like stone, though up close you could see marks from lightning strikes. Like a giant lightning rod - tallest point around (but for the Washington Memorial).

What was the fund Obama used to send the 150 bil in cash to Iran? Can’t Trump use that same fund to build the wall?

Maybe Iran can loan us $25B to build the wall.
