Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that Republicans will “shut down” the Senate if he and other senators are denied access to Border Patrol facilities at the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday.

“I am going down [to the border] with 18 senators Friday, and if I’m denied the ability to look into any place I want to go, we’re going to shut the Senate down,“ he said in an interview with Fox News. ”Where are all the liberal hypocrites? Where is AOC? Where is Elizabeth Warren? Where is Vice President Harris, who basically protested outside of a facility—in Homestead, Florida during the Trump years—holding migrant children?”
