America First Action spokesperson and former Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke advised President Donald Trump’s supporters to pressure their elected officials to include funding for construction of a southern border wall within the next continuing resolution in lieu of a budget. He joined Breitbart News Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily to discuss ongoing political battles over border security on Capitol Hill.
Boyle asked, “There are tons of people out there — the army of deplorables, if you will — who supported President Trump in 2016. They still support him, today. They want to get involved in this fight. What’s your message to those people who want to do something? What do they need to be doing? How does the army of deplorables get involved in this fight?”
Clarke replied, “What’s important; job one is getting this wall funding in this continuing resolution. So they need to flood their elected officials’ offices with emails and phone calls. That stuff matters. I’m telling you, right now, I’ve talked to people on the Hill, and one of the things that stood out is how many of them said, ‘You know what? We rarely hear from people back home.’ You know what that tells me? They’re not worried about the folks at ground level [or] what the folks back home are thinking.”
