Fox News host Pete Hegseth said it is ironic for Bowser to call for a coordinated response from the Biden administration when that is what Republicans have been calling for since he took office and chipped away at Donald Trump’s border security policies:
“I’ve been wanting Greg Abbott to declare an invasion which gives constitutionally the state of Texas additional powers. And I downplayed what he was doing on busing illegals to D.C.; I think I was wrong on that,” he said.
“They’re not being tricked. They’re being asked. They’re volunteering to go to Washington, D.C. as a result. Now they’re flooded in swamp. And she’s admitting what we always knew about big city leftist elitists,” Hegseth added, saying the admission is that the “elite” class wants the rest of America to suffer under their policy decisions, “as long as they’re in someone else backyard, not ours.”
Hegseth wondered aloud whether Bowser now understands the real plight of officials in New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona where migrants have been illegally entering from Mexico en masse for years.
“It’s one of the best examples we’ve seen yet of the complete double standard they live in. She just she said it on TV for us,” he said.
The Texas governor was forced to take action afterthe Biden administration refused to help the border-states deal with the massive influx of illegals. His mission is locally funded but in order to continue, he’s asking for donation.
A page on the Republican governor’s website seeks contributions to “Border Transportation Funding” by credit card or mailed check. His office did not respond to The Post’s request asking why donations are being sought.
