Editorial: Tillis's flip on bipartisan border security deal is a flop
Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024 -- Sen. Thom Tillis Tillis is subservient to Donald Trump's selfish desires for a political confrontation. He is fearful of retribution from Trump and his devotees in the GOP on the national and state level.
Posted — UpdatedThe day he spoke of arrived Tuesday and Tillis choked on his own words.
“With that said, I have repeatedly said it would be a mistake to send this bill to the House without the support of a majority of Republican senators, and if it didn’t have a majority, I would not support a futile procedural exercise. After reviewing the bill text, there are provisions that are highly problematic, especially considering the fact that President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas caused this border crisis and have refused to use existing laws already on the books to address it. It is hard to trust that the Biden Administration would even implement this bill in good faith. I will vote no.”
When it comes to trust, North Carolina voters should rue the day, as Tillis said last week, that they put him in the Senate.
What is clear is: Tillis doesn’t really care about border security. He doesn’t want to help stop Vladimir Putin’s Russian aggression and support those fighting for freedom in Ukraine.
Will Tillis “rue the day” he caved as a nation looked for leadership and integrity? He should.
