Maddow said, I will say, though, that the whole reason we are going through this ridiculous exercise is so the president wont be embarrassed when he watches the Fox News channel and they remind him about his campaign promises in which he said he was going to build a wall. I will just point out if that will be the basis on which we shut down the federal government, there is an issue his campaign promised, remember, was technically that Mexico was going to pay for the wall, right? If this whole fight right now was about Mexico was going to shut down their government rather than pay for the wall, that would be relevant to his previous campaign promises on this. He never promised Ill build the wall and U.S. Taxpayers are going to pay for it and Democrats will vote for it. That wasnt the campaign promise. That wasnt even what he said he could do.

Fake news he never said that....so...stop saying it.
What he really said was "One way or another...I'm going to get ya, get ya"

The 5 billion should be spent on infrastructure upgrades in D.C. The sewer system should be upgraded and a handle installed on the White House so we can flush the thing.
