Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of President Trump’s most vocal allies on Capitol Hill, endorsed the White House demand for $5 billion in border wall funding in order to avert a partial government shutdown on Friday at midnight.
“It’s right to fight for wall funding. The House-passed bill is reasonable. Let’s Dig in!” Graham tweeted, referring to the House measure that includes $5.7 billion in wall funding. That legislation is unlikely to pass the Senate.
The South Carolina Republican was echoing remarks he made earlier this month.
“He needs to dig in and get the very Democrats who voted for $25 billion to give him $5 [billion] because we need the money now more than ever,” Graham said this month, referring to a February deal that fell through that would have provided $25 billion for border security, including the wall, in exchange for protections for young immigrants who came to the country illegally as children.

Just keep it shut down till they howl for mercy...no skin off my nose..
Give it all you got. If you vote really sincerely then your vote counts DOUBLE and it may pass!! Every time a bell rings a president gets his wall!
But, but, but ... they need that money to pay the illegals. /s
My local boat ramp is county run. I’m good too.
Except for being in bed with the Saudis on endless war he’s been awesome lately.
Maybe we'll find out!
Lindsay Graham acts how the Republican party SHOULD act. Two years of a majority with criminals infested in every nook and cranny in the government and Trump is the one who gets his ass investigated off, unreal. I directly blame the Republican party for that happening, they do NOTHING. Graham is one of the very few who fights back.
As Laura Ingraham stated. The wall should have been funded in the first 30 days!
He must be up for election.
Any other time, you’d swear he works in the shipping department of a fudge warehouse.
With the exception of President Trump and a very few members of Congress, there is little difference between our Congress and the old Politburo of the Soviet Union...They are there only to serve themselves...
If so, I say, "Let's dig in!"
Let's refine that to sync with a well know (and overused but here goes) proverb...
If the government shutdown (in a forest) and no one noticed...would anyone who matters, give a damn?
Blame Ryan and McConnell, they kept promising to give it to Trump in the next CR.
It is a national security issue. The military builds the wall. EF the dems.... Mr. President protect your country from an invading force.
Yeah!
+++++++++++++++
Even Graham,at this
point!...welcome aboard!............
Semper TRUMP!

Exactly. Mcstain said to build the dang fence when he would run. Phonies.
I think they are going to meet 1/2 way. The House will have to vote again though.
We can only hope at this point but if it doesn’t happen then it’s time to burn some $hit down.
