Republican Rep. Ryan Costello of Pennsylvania claimed President Donald Trump made his wall demands after listening to Sean Hannity and a few other people.

Costello, who is retiring from Congress next month, made his remarks during an interview on MSNBC’s “Live with Craig Melvin” on Thursday.

He noted the Senate had passed a stop gap measure last week that did not include funding for the border wall.

“The Senate voted 100-0 to pass a clean CR (continuing resolution) and sent it to the House,” he said. “Sean Hannity and a few other people screamed fire. The president then fell in line behind Sean Hannity."

And he added: “I don’t see a scenario where the government opens back up until the new Congress is sworn in.”
