Representative Martha McSally, a Republican congresswoman from Tucson, Ariz., really doesn't like the idea of sanctuary cities — let alone sanctuary states.

On Tuesday morning, the legislator attended a round table with President Donald Trump at the White House, and rehashed a joke she reportedly made on Fox News last week regarding the installment of a border wall between Arizona and California.

"As we look in Arizona, we often look into the dangers of the southern border," McSally said at Tuesday's meeting. "But if these dangerous policies continue out of California, we might need to build a wall between California and Arizona as well."

Her previous statement on cable TV, as the Phoenix New Times reported, suggested that California Governor Jerry Brown "might want to start building a wall between California and Arizona because his policies are actually endangering the rest of the country."

Brown doesn't appear to have acknowledged the statement.

McSally is currently running against the controversially pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio for the senate seat that will be left open by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.)'s departure. Flake, who is not seeking re-election, has been a target of Trump's ire for some time now, due in part to the senator's refusal to support him.

In November, Flake accidentally made his opinion of Trump clear following a town hall session when on a hot mic, he said, "(If we) become the party of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we are toast."
