Wisconsin U.S. Senate Debate

Published | Video Starts at 20:18

Why or why not? Mister Hovdy, you'll go first. You have 60 seconds. That bill was dead on arrival. The House had already rejected it. It was masquerading as a border bill with really funding Ukraine. And every senator, once they found out what was in it, was opposed to it. The simple fact is it would have codified allowing almost 5000 illegal immigrants coming into our country every single day. (20:18–20:24)

CLAIM

Asserts that the border bill was actually intended to fund Ukraine.
