'His Amendment Is A Distraction': John Cornyn, Cory Booker Clash Over The Epstein Files In Hearing

Published | Video Starts at 02:42

I will respond quickly. What Senator Booker is trying to do is to kill this underlying bipartisan bill that will hopefully save hundreds, maybe thousands of lives because of the opioid crisis. It's already taken tens of thousands of lives in this country over recent years because of the Biden open border policies. So I'm simply trying to preserve this bipartisan legislation again that will save lives. The debate that he and I are having over the Epstein files I doubt will be resolved today based on any amendments either he or I offer. (02:42–02:50)

CLAIM

Asserts that tens of thousands of lives have been lost due to Biden's border policies.
