Iowa Republicans answering to Trump on border bill

Iowa’s Republican congressional delegation constantly rants about the crisis at the border demanding something be done. Well, they had their chance to vote for the border bill. This bill was bipartisan, endorsed by the Border Patrol Union and contained the very things the Republicans have been demanding. Yet, every single one of Iowa’s congressional representatives voted against it.

The reason they all voted no was because they were told to vote no by Donald Trump, who wants nothing done so he can use the border chaos as a campaign issue in November. So these representatives elected by us, apparently really work for Donald Trump and not us, the people who elected them. Their behavior is hypocritical and shameful and not one of them better complain anymore about the border.

In the next election I would suggest people vote for candidates who work for us and not quake in fear and kneel down at the feet of Donald Trump.
