Pence blasts Democrats' DHS funding delay as 'unconscionable' threat to US security
Former US Vice President Mike Pence calls the Democratic Party's decision to block DHS funding 'unconscionable' as the US faces threats both at home and abroad.
Former US Vice President Mike Pence has criticized Democratic lawmakers for holding up Department of Homeland Security funding, calling it 'unconscionable' as the country faces security threats both domestically and internationally. Pence's remarks come amid tensions following American military strikes on Iran and twin terror attacks in Afghanistan. He believes that DHS funding should be a top priority, given the current global security landscape. The criticism from Pence underscores the growing divide between Republican lawmakers and their Democratic counterparts over national security priorities.
