THUNE ON DEFUNDING THE TALIBAN: “I HAVE NOT SEEN IT.” LindellTV’s @Alisonintheknow asked @LeaderJohnThune why the Senate has yet to act on @RepTimBurchett's bill to stop U.S. taxpayer dollars from reaching the Taliban - despite the House passing it nearly a year ago. Meanwhile, every week of delay means another estimated $40 million flows into Afghanistan. When asked when the Senate would finally vote on the bill, Thune responded: “I don’t know when. We don’t have that currently on the schedule here... I have not seen it... that’s something that we'd consider putting on the floor at this point.” Eleven months later, the bill still hasn’t received a Senate vote. The House passed it. The Senate hasn’t acted. How many more months - and how many more millions - will pass before this gets a vote? Pass the bill. Stop the money flow. Now.
