    David Perdue, at presser with GOP senators on a spending cut package, gets bombarded by questions about separation of children at border. He jumps in, says he wants to focus on the debt crisis and not see his press conference hijacked by the "current shiny object of the day"

        Perdue on debt: “I apologize guys, we came here to talk about a crisis. Do you realize that if we don’t solve this crisis, we’re going to lose the right to deal with all the things you’re asking about? Your job is to inform the American people. Our job is to provide a solution”

        Somebody should have shouted out a question about the Trump Foundation. He'd have been glad to talk about children then.

        Wild on two levels: 1) the utter cruelty with which he describes mass human suffering; 2) the "focus on the debt crisis" idea where he was a passionate supporter of a trillion-dollar debt-financed tax cut focused on the wealthy and corporations

        So children being taken from their parents are shiny objects to a "family values" Republican? HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE ANYWHERE NEAR POWER?

        He wants to focus in the debt crisis created by the trillion dollar tax cut he gave himself and his billionaire buddies? Easier to lie about that than admit he’s fine with children being put in concentration camps? @sendavidperdue #FUCKYOU

        Wow just wow Let's parse this a bit 1. The "debt crisis" was manufactured by the GOP and their out of control spending. 2. I don't think anyone other than the soulless ghouls in this administration would dare call the current crisis precipitated by the president a shiny object

        If these Republican Senators voted for the #TaxScam, their opinions on the debt is hypocritical at best. Also, "shiny" @sendavidperdue?
