Even on immigration, Republicans are now admitting the numbers are bad; Ernst’s answer was not ownership, but blame transfer.
“Trump closed the border, and yet we’re underwater on that issue!”
Trey Gowdy, Fox News Sunday
“We are underwater on that issue, but we have to come together —both Democrats and Republicans— and find a way forward on this.”
“So much can be done on this if only Democrats will want to come to the table … they just simply despise the president so much they don’t want to do the right thing for our country.”
Joni Ernst (R-IA), Fox News Sunday
GOP spent years preaching “personal responsibility.” Now their own senator admits Republicans are underwater on immigration — and blames Democrats anyway. Own the damage, or drop the sermon. 🔥🧾📉 #PartyOfPersonalResponsibility #OwnIt #GOPHypocrisy
