Senator Roger Marshall was on Newsmax‘s “America Right Now” with host Tom Basile on Saturday. He defended President Trump’s America First Agenda.
He criticized the Democrats for the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security.
Basile and Senator Marshall also discussed the ongoing conflict in Iran.
“From your perspective, what would you like to see accomplished before we pull back?” Basile asked.
“I think we need to fulfill the President’s four goals. It’s so clear exactly what the President has laid out, and I think we are 90 percent there,” Marshall said.
“He laid out that we want to destroy Iranian missiles, their nukes, their navy, and prevent them from being able to arm and train terrorists in the future,” Senator Marshall continued.
“So, again, very successful mission so far. Complement our military, mourn the loss of 13 American soldiers, and maybe another dozen seriously injured,” Marshall said.
“The last 10 percent may be as hard as the first 90 percent,” Marshall continued.
“I want to move over to the standoff on Capitol Hill. National security threats continue to rise, but that standoff over DHS funding with the Democrats continues,” Basile said.
“We’ve had multiple terror attacks tied to Islamist activity,” Basile continued.
“In the last few weeks, travelers are now seriously feeling this as well,” Basile said of long lines at airport security.
“Senator, are we any close to a deal here?” Basile asked.
Senator Marshall blasted the Democrats for defunding the security of our country.
“So, remember, the Democrats are the defund the police party. The Republicans are the party of secure border and law and order,” Marshall said.
“I think it’s important to remind folks that President Trump sent the Democrats an offer, and they sat on it for 18 days,” Senator Marshall said.
“We want President Trump’s policies to stay in place,” Marshall said.
“We should be asking them why won’t you fund DHS? Why are you the defund the police political party?” Marshall asked of Democrats.
