Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., criticized President Trump’s proposed border wall prototypes for being too high and “obnoxious.”
“Did you see it? How high it is? I mean, really? In a civilized society, we do something like that?” the House minority leader said in her weekly news conference Thursday about the 30-foot prototypes that have been built on the border. “As obnoxious as it is, you know that’s a community there with a border running through it.”
“[A] wall that big separating people? I mean, really? This is like a big wall,” she continued.
When asked if the Democrats will give the president the funding needed to build the barrier, she laughed while asking: “What do you think?”
Republicans and Democrats have spent weeks negotiating a possible deal to fund the wall, protect Dreamers and take other steps to rein in legal immigration. But with no deal in sight, the issue is threatening to hold up passage of a must-pass spending bill in Congress next week.
