Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), who was a key negotiator on a border compromise bill in the US Senate, says he was threatened by a popular commentator over his attempt to reform immigration law during an election year. CNN’s Anderson Cooper looks at the situation in Congress after Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border deal they once demanded in this “Keeping Them Honest.” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) joins to discuss. #CNN #News

  • Crenshaw is saying bullshit and the look on face is saying he knows it's bullshit. He's fully aware of the choice he's making here.

    They create a mess, and they blame the mess on the other side. Laughable.

    We are now under MOB RULE. Threatening elected officials to do their bidding, bend the knee for a person and forget about the country. MOB RULE is spreading; Will we overcome it?

    I’m not Republican, but Senator Lankford, I am so sorry you have been betrayed and wronged. Thank you for your dedication.🌊🇺🇸
  • @tommcfadden5232
    Don’t kid yourselves folks, Dan Crenshaw is definitely one of those Republicans.

    Speaking as a former Republican straight ticket voter, I want my fellow Americans to know that I am so disgusted by the policies and behavior of DJT that I choose NEVER to vote Republican again and I apologize for giving the loser my vote when he ran. I damaged my country, I hurt America and I will spend the rest of my voting life making it right. ❤

    Lankford needs to name names. It’s not enough to just say “popular commentator” Name names. Make them own it publicly.

    Just like don dump has said repeatedly, mike smith just said; "I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING, EVER.
  • Funny, Crenshaw was pissed off a day or so ago because he thought it was a good bill and now, he's back tracking? My God these people are totally off their rockers. It's going to bite them because this bill was basically HR2. I have never in my life seen people beat around the bush as much as this party does. I'm sick of hearing their lame, bs excuses, all in the name of what TFG wants, who is the last person on the face of this earth, that needs to be President of the USA.

    A question should be asked”can you do the right thing for the country, if you are threatened by the cult”
  • @BeulahLand_1711
    Shouldn’t it be the GOPs who should be impeached for their inaction on important matters like the border issue?

    Since Trump took a dump on Capitol hill the place has stunk worse than an outhouse in summer.
  • @walter6873
    Thank you for being honest and showing what trump is up to. Vote all Republicans out until they learn they work for us not trump
  • @randalohly6234
    Never imagined the gop party would self distruct like they have no wonder so many are quitting or decided not to run.
  • @tapps1010
    If you're waiting for "decent" republicans to stand up and defend their colleague from the mobsters , you're going to be waiting for a hell of a long time because decency has left the house (and the Senate)
  • @tvendor
    Why is Dan Crenshaw so afraid to say anything about trump?
  • @-the1b4u-
    Sen Lankford you have the floor! Time to tell the world what is actually going on behind closed doors in the GOP. The truth sir will do
  • @mgreen2372
    He says they want "more" after the staunchest of Cons says it already is "more" than they could hope for!! He is no better than the rest. Delay delay delay
  • @lesabentley3059
    Why can't the politicians just answer a question yes or no without all the other crap they throw in? I hate politicians, double talking liars.
