Any reasonable person knows that former President Donald Trump was 100% for fighting to mitigate the illegal immigration crisis at the southern U.S. border. 

However, in recent weeks, Democrats have deployed a major gaslighting campaign to make it seem as if Vice President Kamala Harris and others on their side of the aisle have worked to secure the border.

The scary part is that those same Democrats have managed to convince members of the media, like Manu Raju of CNN, that Trump was responsible for killing a border bill, when in reality it was Democrats who tanked it.

According to Fox News, Oklahoma Republican lawmaker Markwayne Mullin publicly disputed the CNN anchor's claim that Trump was the one who privately lobbied to have the bill killed behind closed doors.

What did he say?

Mullin reminded Raju that Trump only got involved with the bill after top Democrats refused to negotiate the bill with Republicans.

"Chuck Schumer didn't one time reach out to Republicans and try to talk to us. They never had a working group together—," Mullin said before Raju became so triggered that he cut him off.

Fox News noted:

Raju asked about Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., the lead GOP negotiator for the Senate border security bill. Lankford, in February, urged critics to read the bill, arguing it would create a "faster and stronger system" of deportation and "flip the script" on Biden's immigration policy.

Mullin held nothing back as he corrected the record.

"What the left media has done, including yourself, they said it's ‘The Lankford Bill.’ It wasn't the Lankford Bill. Lankford was trying to negotiate on behalf of Republicans. The Democrats not one single time tried to actually negotiate with Republicans," the Oklahoma Republican said.

He added, "So, President Trump didn't kill it; the Biden administration killed it because they knew they wanted to try doing something because the administration has been awful on the border, and that hasn't changed."

A "sham"

Regardless, Senate Republicans have labeled the bill, backed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as a "sham."

Many of those same Republicans have expressed frustrations that Democrats won't get behind a Republican bill in the House that deals with similar border issues, known as H.R. 2.

With the border security crisis expected to play a major role in the upcoming election, it's no wonder that the issue is making headlines once again.

Only time will tell if either bill ever makes it out of either of the two chambers. At this rate, probably not.
