Trump, the same Trump that killed boarder legislation because he didn't want to give biden a win?

Not him, no, never.

I don't see any indication that she's related to this. Anyone can put a picture of anyone near some text, and claim that they are quoting that person.

Google it. It's on her Twitter account. She said it but she recently apologized and said she got it wrong.

I could, but that's not the point. The point is that someone posted a picture of some text, without any sources. And that when someone asks for a shred of proof, some people don't get why. This is very important.

And this is what I'm trying to tell you, and anyone else reading. A picture of text is not reliable, and it does not help that there's also a picture of someone you trust. The guy asking for proof is the sensible voice, not the voice of a person with issues.

OP did follow up with proof though, people who are too lazy to Google the quote are also too lazy to read OPs proof and instead act like they should be spoon fed everything.
