U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, accused President Obama and Senate Democrats in a radio interview Sunday of using the popularity of Israel’s Iron Dome rocket-defense system to secure funding for illegal-alien children inside the United States.
Speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s 970 AM The Answer, Inhofe went so far as to describe the alleged scheme as “one of the phoniest gestures that I have seen out of the Obama administration.”
The politician was referring to Democrats adding $225 million in funding for Israel’s Iron Dome system to an emergency spending bill introduced last Wednesday that would provide $2.7 billion to address the surge of unaccompanied minor children crossing into the U.S.
That bill was introduced by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
Inhofe slammed the use of Mikulski’s bill to push funding for the popular Iron Dome system, which he said the Senate would separately fund anyway.
