Homeland Security John Kelly slammed Democrats and the media for “rejoicing” in the fact that money for President Trump’s wall along the border with Mexico isn’t in the omnibus spending bill.
Kelly said the spending bill, which if passed before Friday will fund the government until the end of September, represents the biggest investment in border security in a decade. However, Kelly’s ire was piqued by Democrats, though he didn’t mention the opposition party by name, who celebrated that funding for the wall was not a part of that investment.
“Frankly, I am shocked at the behavior of some individuals in public service or public office … they’re rejoicing in that the wall will be slower to be built and our southwest border will be less secure than it could be,” Kelly said.
