Billy Long's reason for supporting emergency declaration: They love Trump in my district

Constitutional checks and balances did not seem to be on Seventh District Congressman Billy Long's mind when an Associated Press reporter asked him about the president declaring an emergency to fund a border wall.

Even many GOP lawmakers who view themselves as protectors of Congress' power of the purse say they are deferring to Trump in this case, saying he has the authority under a mid-1970s statute. 
"They love Trump in my district," said Rep. Billy Long, R-Mo. "I'm for Trump."

    6:43, why do you live in this area? You seem to hate and this country gives you the freedom to improve your situation. Make yourself happy and relocate. I am sure whichever fast food joint you work for would transfer you.
