Jon Tester “Demands” Border Security, Since When?

Jonathan McNiven

Well, Folks, I’ve been trying to see both sides here, but I’ve got to comment and call out the BS when I see the hypocrisy (IMO). While watching some online videos, commercials and campaign propaganda from Jon Tester and his campaign the last couple weeks while I was watching the Republican National Convention online (which was the first time in my entire life), I’m dumbfounded that Jon Tester starts showing up this year as his campaign for re-election is underway and starts focusing on border security.  But wait, his campaign ads now talk about border security as well.

This is typical and understandable at the same time as it’s re-election time for politicians but both sides do it.

But in his seventeen years in Congress, I find it interesting that he’s NOW focusing and voicing his support on the border issue, immigration and “demanding” it be a priority even January of this year as it feels like he’s transitioning into campaign mode and not the normal Jon Tester Democrat mode he’s been known for from his voting record. Yes, he might voice Montana values while verbally saying he’s pushing back on the Biden/Harris agenda now, but his voting record is different. He might be a good, nice guy but his voting record Is different.

Is it a coincidence that he’s “demanding” the southern border be secure this year? I’m read more
