Donald Trump on Thursday mocked House Republicans who he said routinely need presidential attention before they can support GOP bills and roasted congressional Democrats amid ongoing talks about possible immigration enforcement restrictions.
The president struck a noticeably partisan tone in his annual remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, questioning why people of faith would ever vote for a Democrat, even though the foundation that hosts the event has a Democratic co-chair, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. (Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall is the Republican co-chair.)
Trump told the audience it was “hard” to turn down the yearly invitation to speak at the breakfast.
