Lindsey Graham and Marjorie Taylor Greene join Tom Homan in Funding Threats Against Sanctuary Cities

Over the weekend, allies of President-Elect Donald Trump suggested that the incoming administration may act to withhold federal funds from cities and states it determines are not cooperating with its mass deportation program.

During an interview with Sean Hannity, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) stated, “States who want to continue this, sanctuary cities— you’re on notice. We should cut all your money off.”




Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has been chosen to lead the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) subcommittee, repeatedly criticized sanctuary cities and states during an interview with Maria Bartiromo, saying, “If these Democrat governors and mayors want to use their federal dollars and use this funding to harbor illegal criminal aliens, then, yeah, we’re coming after their money, and they don’t deserve a single penny of it.”

The red states will feel the pinch even faster, since they are troughs for federal money.

Then point fingers at Gregg Abbott and Ronnie D for using Federal monies to fly and bus migrants to said states and cities.

Talk about HYPOCRITES.
