Graham: If Senate passes bipartisan wall-funding bill including legal status for DACA/TPS, would

Pelosi allow it to be brought up in the house?


Tweet from Lindsey Graham minutes ago:





If Senate passes bipartisan bill that includes border security funding for wall/barrier and legal status for DACA and TPS recipients, would @SpeakerPelosi allow the bill to be taken up in the House?

If the answer is no, then it is the Pelosi Shutdown.



Silly game for Graham to play. The WH shut down earlier attempts to include DACA/TPS in any deal, and McConnell would never let this come to a vote in the Senate, without Trump's approval.

There's no way this will EVER be the Pelosi Shutdown.

So game over, Lindsey.

It is the McConnell Trump shutdown. Sounds like we might have to add yr name to the list if you keep peddling this kind of bull crap

Honestly what the fuck is wrong with Graham these days? Why has he become a slave to Donald Trump.

He is spending too much time around Trump. Devolving mental age must be catching.

No Lindsey, it will never be “the Pelosi shutdown.” But you will always be a jerk.

Otherwise, all we see is further trump blackmail attempts and GOP collusion with doing it.

That just demonstrates how disingenuous you are - looking to score some cheap social media points. Why don't skip off to your rightwing vacuum and don't come back until you grow up enough to negotiate.

McConnell does not want the government to reopen, this is his dream, kill government once and for all.

He's trying so hard to be relevant.

Can't wait to vote his ass out in a few years now that I live in SC.

The wall is not real and never will be. However legal status for DACA/TPS is. That would be a positive game changer for a number of people. We would be remiss not to take that deal.
