No, I’m not saying that. Feel free to read my clarification again.
(Edit) Sorry thought this was in the same chain. No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying he wants the border open because he thinks it helps him win. he isn’t vocally against border security now, he’ll continue to hammer away at it because its red meat for his base. He’s against it getting closed because then he can’t hammer away at it.
I wasn’t saying he was against border security either though. I’m saying he was suddenly against funding anything to do with it the moment the Dems were acceptable to funding it (doesn’t matter the reason for it).
He could have crowed on that the security happened because of Reps and his lobbying, but instead went against funding it the moment Dems said yes to it.
Except he’s going to continue to harp on border security. He isn’t taking the position because he just does the opposite of the Dems, he blocked it because it takes away a talking point. Now he can and will continue to talk about it. He didn’t even change his position.
