Congressman Fitzpatrick challenges conservatives to move defensive aid with border security, over choosing 100% of nothing

Pennsylvania Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick tells reporters at a press conference to introduce the bipartisan Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act as effort to legislate aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan paired with border security reform in the House after Senate action that the carefully crafted discharge petition allows one substitute amendment and bypasses the Rules Committee to go straight to the House floor with 218 signatures and votes needed, expressing confidence in getting signatures as it would be an indefensible position for colleagues to oppose securing both the border and aid to Ukraine, which constituents would see as letting the perfect be the enemy of the good by taking nothing instead of 80 percent of a solution.
