We all know what happened earlier this year when House Republicans and Leader Mike Johnson blew up the border bill negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators at Trump's behest. Negotiations stalled on that along with a host of other issues such as Ukraine aid, but they did finally manage to get the Ukraine aid passed along with funding for Israel and Taiwan.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was asked about all of that during an interview last month as reported by Politico:

After finally getting 70 votes for a $95 billion aid package, including $60 billion for Ukraine, the two leaders now must work together to force the House to move — a task that could prove impossible. Still, they appear mutually aware that it would have proven impossible to get this far without legitimate trust.

That doesn’t mean they’ll stop fighting for an advantage in the battle for the majority. Just ask Schumer about the price McConnell’s GOP might pay for rejecting that border deal.

“We were playing chess, they were playing checkers, and we ended up with a Ukraine bill,” Schumer said. “We also end up in much better shape on the border than we were three months ago.”

Schumer brought the border back up for a vote this week, where it failed again. That quote by Schumer and the recent vote was all RoJo needed to pretend there were never any good faith negotiations on the border bill before Dear Leader blew them up.

Here's Johnson with guest host Sean Duffy on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures:

DUFFY: How does your committee, the Homeland Security Committee, assess this risk that Joe Biden has foisted onto the American people?

JOHNSON: Well, under Democrats, we've not held one hearing at the full committee level addressing the border. We've had Mayorkas in, and he just dodges our questions.

So they're not serious about doing this, and to just prove that point, one of their lead negotiators said the border never closes under this bill, and the Majority Leader, when those negotiations failed, here was his, quote, we are playing chess, they were playing checkers, and we got our Ukraine bill, and we're in a better shape on the border than we were three months ago.

So first of all, if you're negotiating good faith, would you rub your negotiating partner's nose in failure like that, saying that we're playing chess or playing checkers? Secondly, if you were really serious about securing the border, they didn't get a bill.

And why would Schumer say he's in better shape on the border than he was three months ago, is because all he was looking for is political cover. They're not serious about securing the border. They want an open border. People need to understand that about the Democrats.

So, does that mean Republicans are never negotiating anything in good faith? Because all they do is attack the other side, nonstop. When Schumer talked about "being in better shape," I'm pretty sure he was discussing the fact that public opinion has shifted in favor of the Democrats after Trump blew up the bipartisan deal. Republicans only have themselves to blame for that happening.

Just more pure projection from Johnson. The ones who want to run on it, refuse to fix it, and who don't want to give Biden "a win" are the Republicans.
