King, Grassley React to Alleged DACA Deal With Democrats

Republicans Steve King and Chuck Grassley responded to a report from the Associated Press that a deal was made between President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. and Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Wednesday night the AP tweeted:

BREAKING: Schumer, Pelosi announce deal with Trump to protect young immigrants; will include border security, but no wall.

Rep. King, R-Iowa, responded that if such a deal were made, Trump's base would be "destroyed."

@RealDonaldTrump If AP is correct, Trump base is blown up, destroyed, irreparable, and disillusioned beyond repair. No promise is credible. https://t.co/uJjxk6uX5g
