‘Wait, Wait, Wait’: Fox News Host Halts Dem Gov Over Claim Trump ‘Torpedoed’ Latest Border Security Fix

Fox News host Shannon Bream corrected Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis multiple times on Sunday after he claimed former President Donald Trump “torpedoed” the latest attempt to fix U.S. southern border security.

Following the rejection of the Senate’s bipartisan border security bill in early February, Democrats quickly blamed Trump, despite GOP lawmakers already being wary of the deal. During a discussion on rising housing prices in Polis’ state due to illegal immigration, Bream challenged the governor’s statement in which he placed the blame for illegal immigration on Trump.

“There’s no doubt we would be in a better place today if President Trump hadn’t torpedoed the bipartisan border security plan that would’ve finally locked on the border,” Polis said.

“Okay, but that comes three and a half years into this administration. You’re repealing executive orders and doing all kinds of things that led us to these historically high numbers,” Bream pushed back.

Polis then stated that both Democrats and Republicans “can’t let politics stand in the way,” reiterating that Trump was at fault for the bill’s failure.
