Watching @SenMikeLee attempt to explain his vote to side with Pelosi and Schumer on the National Emergency Declaration

Mostly puffery so far
“My Democratic colleagues would have you believe that this vote is about opposing President Trump.”

They are right, @SenMikeLee. You are getting played.
“A border fence is a policy I support. I agree that there is a crisis.”

You are voting for a resolution that repudiates that exact view, @SenMikeLee.
I understand your objection to the underlying statutes, @SenMikeLee

But this resolution has MOTHING to do with them.
WHOA.

@SenThomTillis WILL NOT vote for the resolution of disapproval!

Good for you, Senator!
Schumer says he “takes his hats off” to the Republicans voting against Trump

If that isn’t setting off alarm bells for @RandPaul @SenMikeLee @SenAlexander @SenatorRomney and others, I don’t know what will
The master of concern-trolling is @SenSchumer
First Republican to vote against funding the wall is @SenAlexander

Feel free to retire early, Senator
Remember this periscope?

Don’t question my methods, guys

Wow sounding like a SIZABLE rebellion against the emergency declaration

Wicker, Toomey, Portman, Rubio, Romney, Lee, Paul, and a couple others
Lots of Republican Senators need to be held to account
But the resolution will pass with a big margin

Close to 60 votes, I think
