Lankford hits back at Republicans over border deal criticism

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) hit back at critics within his own party over their criticism of the border deal he is working on, arguing that they were willfully misinterpreting it.

In an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream, Lankford attempted to clarify the provisions of the border deal, saying that claims it would allow 5,000 migrants in daily were untrue. The leaked detail resulted in his censure by his state’s Republican Party.
