Newsom Hits 'Shameful' Republicans For Ditching Bipartisan Border Deal

California Gov. Gavin Newsom whacked the spineless Republicans who are again capitulating to Trump on the one issue they keep pretending they actually care about so that Trump can have it as a political issue for the election.

As we already discussed here, "Trump privately pressured Senate Republicans to kill the bipartisan deal to secure the U.S. border because he doesn’t want Joe Biden to chalk up a win ahead of the 2024 presidential election," and apparently caused some consternation among Senate Republicans, not all of whom want to go along with Trump.

Newsom gave an interview to MSNBC's Alex Wagner this Thursday and didn't hold back his disgust with what he was witnessing:

NEWSOM: Mitch McConnell, I thought that was shameful, what was reported out. They're just completely rolling over and capitulating. Don't even get me started with the weakness of the current Speaker of the House.

I mean, they don't want to deal, period, full stop. They don't want a deal. They don't want to make this a “campaign win” for Joe Biden. It's everything you need to know about the fraud that they are perpetuating on the issue of the border. They want to make this a political issue. Consistently they have wanted to make it, ever since there were a few brave souls with that gang of eight. We all remember those...

WAGNER: Yeah, I'm old enough to remember that.
