A handful of Republican Senators voted against funding OUR border wall.
(Some call it Trump’s border wall. I call it OUR wall. It protects ALL OF US.)
Six REPUBLICAN Senators voted in favor of a Democrat funding bill that excluded money for a border wall.
They’re not really surprising:
Remember these names:
– Senator Lamar Alexander
– Senator Susan Collins
– Senator Corey Gardner
– Senator Johnny Isakson
– Senator Lisa Murkowski
– Senator Mitt RomneyThey voted on a bill today that would end the government shutdown without funding for the border wall.

GAAAASP. ROMNEY? NO WAY.
LOLOLOLOL. Just kidding.
As it is, neither the Republican nor the Democrat-backed bill passed amid the ongoing partisan stalemate.
The GOP-backed bill failed 50-47, while the Democratic measure failed 52-44, the Daily Caller reported. The funding bills require 60 votes to pass.
By caving in to Democrats’ open-borders agenda, Senator Susan Collins of Maine opted for a short-term bandage over a long-term solution to the border crisis.
“This shutdown, the longest in our history, must come to an end,” Collins said on the Senate floor Thursday (Jan. 24). “It has already caused far too much harm to 800,000 dedicated federal employees and their families.”
Ok. And a wall protects all 300+ million of us.
