Friday on MS NOW’s “The Beat,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) said the Department of Justice’s so-called anti-weaponization fund was the “crossing of the Rubicon for some Republicans.”
Co-host Antonia Hylton said, “I want your take on what’s happened in the nation’s Capital over the last several days, Republicans, seemingly in a sort of open revolt, unable to get Trump’s desired, DHS additional money through because of this so-called old slush fund and the just outrage that it has caused across the country. And I wonder for you, what you see is the moment where the dam sort of broke politically or psychologically, what did it?”
Dean said, “I don’t know, it’s going to take me a long time, but I have to admit to you, Antonia, I don’t think I’m alone in saying this was one of the longest, weeks in congressional history.”
She added, “Let’s be clear about what the American people want. They do not want what we just saw this week, that billion, no, excuse me, $1.8 billion slush fund. Notice how that was the breaking. That was the crossing of the Rubicon for some Republicans. Stunning. We all kept saying, what’s it going to take? At what point will they say too much? That is too much.”
