Democrats pleading poverty when it comes to funding Trumpâ€™s wall but didnâ€™t bat an eye when Obama paid off the Iranians

(National Sentinel)Â Priorities:Â Politics is a blood sport and politicians are hypocrites and neither of these facts is in dispute.

But sometimes the lying and hypocrisy reach a critical level and must be pointed out for the good of the country. This is one of those times.

Earlier this week, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., met with POTUS Donald Trump in the Oval Office for a highly anticipated public discussion about funding for the presidentâ€™s long-sought U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Most seasoned politicos never really believed that anything productive was going to come of those talks given that a) POTUS Trump appears dead-set on getting his funding and b) No Democrat is going to vote to give the president one red cent in border funding because the party of the donkey has become the party ofÂ open borders.

And, in fact, the talks devolved into chaotic back-and-forth exchanges between all three participants without anything getting resolved.

But Democratsâ€™ new concerns about the cost of the wall are not just laughable, they are hypocritical on a whole new level.

â€œTo the extent that he could do so at all, it would be reckless and irresponsible to waste national security resources on a border wall that is nothing more than an in-kind contribution to his re-election campaign,â€Â said Rep.Â Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said following the Oval Office meeting. â€œNo matter how many years you spread it over, $5 billion for President Trumpâ€™s wasteful wall is too much money.â€

â€œDemocrats have criticized a full-length version of Trumpâ€™s proposed border wall as a waste of money,â€ notedÂ PolitifactÂ in a â€œfact checkâ€ articleÂ claiming that Democratic opposition to border security is â€œfalseâ€ (no, itâ€™s not â€” itâ€™s true).
