Louie Gohmert: Congress Will Fund The Wall [VIDEO]

So much for Mexico paying for it. Politico reports:



Congress should have no problem finding the money to pay for Donald Trump’s proposed border wall once the president-elect is sworn in, Rep. Louie Gohmert said Friday morning. The Texas Republican said Congress has already appropriated money for similar projects in the past, only to have them thwarted by uncooperative officials in the administration of President Barack Obama.

Under Trump’s administration, Gohmert said he expects Congress to work more or less in tandem with the White House to fund and build the wall that Trump has proposed since day one of his presidential campaign.

“I’ve been thrilled how our Republican leadership has just gotten all excited about Trump,” Gohmert said on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.” “It’s amazing what you can get congress to do when you lead and push them in the right direction. And actually, you know, we had appropriated money during the Bush administration that didn’t get spent for the wall, so, yeah, it’s going to be great to have somebody that’s actually following the law.”
