Republican leadership is looking to fund Planned Parenthood in their latest spending bill but not the Trump border wall.
Could these lawmakers be any more out of touch with their base? CNS News reported:
“ When Donald Trump stood in the lobby of Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 and announced he was running for president, he told all who listened to “mark” his words.
“I would do various things very quickly,” Trump said.
“I would repeal and replace the big lie, Obamacare,” he said.
“I will build a great, great wall on our southern border,” he said. “And I will have Mexico pay for that wall…
…Congress faces an April 28 deadline to pass a new government funding bill.
There is currently no talk that it will include language to prohibit funding of Planned Parenthood.
But there is talk that it will not include the language that President Trump has requested to provide $1.4 billion to begin his project to build “a great, great wall on our southern border.”
The Republican House can pass and send to the Republican Senate a bill that funds the border wall but not Planned Parenthood. Or they can pass one that funds Planned Parenthood but not the border wall.
The former course of action would fulfill the campaign promises that got their president elected. The latter would appease congressional Democrats and the liberal press.
So, which will it be?

These whiners know very well that TRUMP is not remotely the cause of the foot dragging and delay associated with his agenda.
These are NeverTrumpers that possibly didn’t vote for TRUMP, or enjoyed the couch and Cheetos on election day. They have to pizzed that the TRUMP base is holding just fine, and that TRUMP would again, today, BEAT Hillary 43-41, in victory.
They got their heads handed to them and are in a permanent pout.
Paul Ryan and most of Congress are NOT ‘loyal Americans’...they are PUG’s...’Progressive Uniparty Globalists’. You heard it here first. :-)
They do this and they can kiss their re-elections goodbye and the democrats will have the majority.
I called for that last election but the "I would never vote for a democrat crowd" showed up. Makes them mad when you point out they have likely voted for plenty of democrats, they just happened to have an (R) by their name. No moving them last time, maybe this time but won't hold my breath.
If ever was a politician deserved to be investigated for corruption...
Chicken in every pot and a car in every garage. Was long before Bush.
How quickly we forget.
Who do you think maneuvered Obama into the Sequester?
All that tells me is that there are plenty of folks out there who are smart enough to not take it up the tail pipe from the GOP. I guess your ignorance shows me there's still too many people that like it, though.
I have faith that President Trump will figure out how to get the wall funded. We need to keep track of who stands in the way, and absolutely be done with them. They are RINOs and do us no more good in Congress than if they were Democrats.
