Sen. #Lankford on #MtP defended #BrainWormBearDumper when repeatedly pressed on whether or not he has 100% confidence in him:

"I believe he's following the science." 🤦‍♂️
#LordHelpUs

Sen #Lankford is back to his old Far Right bull$#!+ ways, (falsely) claiming on #MtP that "#DueProcess means very different things for Citizens vs Non-citizens."

Kudos to #Welker for actually pushing back that there's any difference under the #5A, but let Lankford get away with claiming:

"Simply reading the charges against a non-citizen counts as Due Process."

No it doesn't. And EVEN IF that were true, no one did EVEN THAT MUCH to those people T**** #deported to #ElSalvador.

Thinking about the destructive power #Trump has
on the careers of #MAGARepublican Politicians
for example:
#Lankford #Britt and others
who managed to reach a #Bipartisan agreement on
the bill for '#border #security'
A notable NOT indifferent personal success
a (re-election success)
Trump not only erase it
but forced some of them to vote AGAINST their >own bill<
from 'great achievement' to 'total useless humiliated expendable pawns'
(except Lankford who had the ethic to stand his ground)
Sen. James #Lankford
I disagree with many of his political positions
and have criticized him harshly in the past
but today for fairness I have to say
that Lankford has shown to be faithful to his Senatorial duties
and even though I often find myself disagreeing with what he says
he today deserves to be applauded.
It's hard to be ethical among #MAGA people.

“Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed on Monday that he didn’t endorse Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, the primary Republican negotiator of a bipartisan immigration bill that Trump has sharply criticized.

In an interview on Monday, right-wing radio host Dan Bongino noted to Trump that some online commentators have pointed out that Trump endorsed Lankford. Bongino defended Trump, saying that people sometimes “let you down” after you endorse them.

But Trump went further – claiming that he never endorsed Lankford at all.

“Just to correct the record, I did not endorse Sen. Lankford. I didn’t do it. He ran, and I did not endorse him,” Trump said. “So I’m sure your person will be happy to hear that.” More than 10 minutes later, Trump added, “I like James. I did not endorse James, but I like James.”

Fact check: Trump falsely claims he ‘did not endorse’ Republican immigration negotiator James Lankford

#Lankford doesn't face an election until 2026. For now he's safe.

#Trump may have misstepped, alienating one of the most conservative members of his party.

#TFG is not conservative in the Burkian sense. He's just an out-of-control radical...and one with no unifying worldview.

#Lankford called out his colleagues for bowing to #political pressure, noting that four months ago #Republicans refused to grant funding for #Ukraine, #Israel & the southern #border until there were policy changes.

“So we actually locked arms together & said we’re not going to give you money for this. We want a change in #law,” Lankford said. “When we’re finally going to the end, they’re like, ‘Oh, just kidding. I actually don’t want a change in law because it’s a presidential #election year.’

“This bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day. There’s no #amnesty. It increases the number of #Border Patrol agents, increases #asylum officers, it increases detention beds so we can quickly detain & then deport individuals,” #Lankford said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“It focuses on additional deportation flights out. It changes our asylum process so that people get a fast asylum screening at a higher standard & then get returned back to their home country,” Lankford added.
