Markwayne Mullin slams Democrats for Trump negativity despite record-high approval rating

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) said Democrats are prioritizing portraying President Donald Trump in a negative light, citing the party’s focus on the administration’s deployment of the National Guard to deal with anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots.

Democrats have been critical of the National Guard’s deployment in Los Angeles after left-wing demonstrators took to the streets to oppose ICE raids to find illegal immigrants. Mullin said Democratic lawmakers are focusing on the deployment instead of the deportations to keep the focus on their “narrative” that “everything that Trump does has to be bad.”
