    “We don’t believe taxpayer funding should go towards that for minors or for adults. We’ve poll tested that, and we’re pretty confident that the American people agree,” Schweppe says.

    And yet they look the other way when taxpayer funds are used for frivolous political stunts like migrant flights, or to defend laws that are so off-the-rails that they’re sure to attract lawsuits, etc…

    Today’s so-called “conservatives” are not the responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars that they claim to be; it’s all smoke and mirrors with these people.

      I’m guessing this guy is just outright lying. These people are desperate to make it seem like they didn’t waste $222 million dollars on an issue their voters didn’t care about. The number one issue among Republican voters was the economy.
