Don Beyer: “Obama's simple recognition was an acceptance of this gift to the American people.”

I think Republicans expect that in nine weeks they're going to lose the majority of the House, maybe the Senate, and that this project could be endangered by a new Democratic majority that actually stands up to Trump,

He has no one in the Republican Party willing to stand up to him on many, many different things. He only might have that trifecta for another couple of weeks.

Even Doug Burgum, in his heart, knows that this is immoral and disrespectful to America’s fallen heroes. All of us who oppose it must stand up and redouble our efforts to stop this monstrosity.

“This project is not even close to being ready for prime time. The Administration has not won the legal battle over the proposal, which is plainly illegal without congressional authorization,” Beyer said in a statement.
