GOP senator complains Democrats didn't defund Amtrak to pay for Trump's wall

[left-of-center2012]

On Monday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) complained on Fox Business that Senate Democrats refused her effort to take infrastructure funding from Amtrak to pay the tab Trump promised Mexico would pick up.

"The Democrats aren't interested in improving the bill. I had one amendment that would've called for taking a billion from Amtrak's slush fund and using it to build the wall on the southern border," Blackburn told former Donald Trump advisor and Fox Business host Larry Kudlow.

Funds from Amtrak for that wall debacle? What about Amtrak, it certainly needs its funds?

God!

She's operating at a mental disadvantage.

I thought the exact thing immediately.

8. Yep, we're on the same track.

I thought about putting the word "blonde" in front of it but I didn't want to get flamed.

3. Oh, she's ON TO OUR PLAN!!!!!!!!

Forget about climbing walls - ride AMTRAK into the US - enjoy the comfort of the lounge car or the scenic vistas observed from the observation cars - see your fellow countrymen run from ICE and Border Patrol while you ride in comfort provided by Democrats!

5. Pukes think people are crossing the border like the beginning of the Boston marathon.

Show us this influx if it does even exist. Enough blue money has gone to the taker states for so called border security.

6. "Slush funds"!!

Sounds bad. Why should Amtrak have a slush fund? I despise her.
