Oklahoma GOP Disavows Condemnation of Sen. Lankford Over Bipartisan Immigration Bill

Lankford defends his work on the bill, which is coupled with aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, amid criticism from former President Trump.

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) has been condemned by some members of the Oklahoma Republican Party for working on a bipartisan immigration bill that former President Donald Trump has criticized.
The condemnation was passed in a meeting that has since been declared 'illegitimate' by the Oklahoma GOP, stating that not all members were properly notified.
Lankford defended his work on the bill on 'Fox News Sunday', calling out fellow Republicans for going along with Trump's campaign strategy.
The bill, which is the result of months of bipartisan negotiations, is intended to be coupled with aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
Trump has criticized the bill as a 'gift' to Democrats during a presidential election year, and has communicated to Republicans in Congress that the border deal should be dropped.
