Jim Jordan: 'We've got five weeks' to get border wall funding
By Megan Keller - 11/27/18 10:43 AM EST
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said Tuesday that Republicans had to pass funding for the border wall before Democrats take over the majority in the House.
"We've got five weeks before Nancy Pelosi takes over as Speaker of the House," Jordan told Fox & Friends Tuesday morning. "We had better get focused on the things that really matter."
He called "building the border security wall and securing the southern border" one of the most imporant issues in in the spending bills under consideration by Congress.
"We've seen what's happened in the last couple days," Jordan said, likely referring to a scuffle at the southern border Sunday in which over 1,000 people reportedly rushed the border wall in large groups, some of them throwing rocks.
"And that was the biggest promise that Republicans made to voters in 2016," he said of the border wall. "So we had better fight for that."
