Trump Denies Endorsing GOP Border Bill Author Whom He Definitely Endorsed
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING In 2022, former President Donald Trump called Sen. James Lankford, one of the three main negotiators of a sweeping immigration overhaul and foreign aid bill now in the Senate, ”Strong on the Border.” On Monday, Trump said incorrectly that he had not endorsed him and that the border bill would be bad for Lankford’s political career. In his Sept. 27, 2022, statement endorsing Lankford, Trump called him “a very good man, with a fabulous wife and family, loves the State of Oklahoma, and is working very hard on trying to Save our Country from the disaster that it is in.” “James Lankford is Strong on the Border, Tough on Crime, and Very Smart on the Economy,” Trump’s statement said. “It is my great honor to give James Lankford my Complete and Total Endorsement!” An email seeking comment from a Trump campaign spokesperson did not get an immediate response. “This is a very bad bill for his career and especially in Oklahoma,” Trump said of Lankford.
