Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) argued on Sunday that it is "better" for children in Kentucky to have a border wall than it is for them to have new schools.
During an interview on Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan explained that $3.6 billion of the funds for Donald Trump's emergency declaration to build a border wall could come from military funds "including construction of a middle school in Kentucky."
Graham, however, told Brennan that the children of Kentucky need a border wall more than they need new schools.
"The president will have to make a decision on where he gets the money," Graham agreed. "Let's just say for a minute that he took some money out of the military construction budget."

"Join the U.S. Army. Be used as props at the border for a campaign promise. Send your kids to decrepit schools. March in a July 4 parade to salute Dear Leader."

Graham is very confused. Walls won't help kids learn to read, loving caring mentors will.

(10,823 posts)that Lindsay is up to his eyeballs in kompromat. The Trumpster has something on Lindsay Graham because this statement on the wall vs schools as well as other nonsense--including the histrionics during the Kavanaugh confirmation--is completely idiotic. The man turned on a dime when it came to the Squatter-in-Chief, calling him unfit for office, the ruination of the Republican Party to Uno Numero lackey.
Color me highly suspicious!
