She praised the deal that was struck but said she ultimately voted against it after her office was bombarded with phone calls from angry Iowans demanding she do so.
What was in that bill, we will never have the opportunity to pass, probably in my lifetime, she told a roomful of constituents. We will never see changes to the asylum law in the United States when we get the kind of reaction that we did over this border bill, OK? And it's from the public.
Even my own colleagues were out there knowingly putting out misinformation about the bill because they wanted to tank it, she said. Why? Because we had a former president that even before the bill was written said, 'It's garbage. You don't need it. I have all the authority I need to shut down the border when I become president.'
