Watch This Texas Democrat Say Obama’s Decision To Avoid The Border Is “Bizarre” and “Detached” 

Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar, from Texas’ 28th District, ripped President Obama’s decision today on MSNBC to avoid a visit to the border during his fundraising swing.

“He’s so close to the border. And let me say this: when I saw, and I hate to use the word bizarre, but under the circumstances, when he is shown playing pool in Colorado, drinking a beer, and he can’t even go 242 miles to the Texas border, and plus, if he doesn’t want to go down to the border, there’s the Air Force Base where HHS is holding some of the young kids from the border. He could at least make that trip to San Antonio, but again, border community leaders wants to see him down there on the border, and I think the optics and the substance of it is that he should show up at the border,” said Cuellar.
