Senator Lindsey Graham addressed the Trump shutdown on Sunday, saying the President should re-open the government for just three weeks, and if he doesn’t get the funding for the border wall, possibly use emergency powers to get it done.

“You’ve got two bad choices here,” South Carolina’s senior senator said Sunday on Fox News Sunday. “Continue the stalemate and see parts of the government shut down. It would be inconvenient and it can create problems — and to the federal workforce, I’m sorry you’re caught up in this mess.”

“But the real damage is people coming across the border, selling drugs, killing Americans — that needs to come to an end,” Graham continued. “The real damage is a broken border compared to a partial shutdown. The President’s not going to give in. No wall, no deal. But he’s ready to deal.”
