President Trump falsely claimed on Saturday that he never urged congressional Republicans to pass a pair of immigration bills, saying that he knew all along that the measure would not win enough Democratic votes to pass in the Senate.
“I never pushed the Republicans in the House to vote for the Immigration Bill, either GOODLATTE 1 or 2, because it could never have gotten enough Democrats as long as there is the 60 vote threshold,” he tweeted. “I released many prior to the vote knowing we need more Republicans to win in Nov.”
