CNNs Boykin nails Trump supporter over wall funding: Taxpayers are on the hook for his fake promis [View all]



First, Boykin mocked Trump for only getting a tiny amount of the funding he needed from Congress to pay for the border wall.

“It’s not even $1.6 billion for a wall, it’s about $600 million, actually,” Boykin said. “The $1.6 billion is for a larger appropriation for expenses that have to do with border security.”

Boykin then pointed out that, in theory, no taxpayer money should be allotted to build the wall since Trump repeatedly promised to make Mexico foot the bill for its construction.

“Remember, this is a guy who said in 2016 and 2015, he’s going to build a wall, and who’s going to pay for it? Mexico,” he said. “Well guess what, taxpayers? You’re on the hook for Donald Trump’s fake promise.”
