When Hillary Clinton was running against Donald Trump in 2016, the Democrat nominee joined others on the Left to say that we need “bridges, not walls”:
We need to build bridges, not walls. Add your name if you agree! https://t.co/ukYiNGYw7u

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Trump’s push for a wall at the border “immoral and ineffective”:
Democrats are for real border security solutions. Not for wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on an immoral, ineffective & expensive wall.
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) December 21, 2018
Fast forward to this week, and the “walls don’t work” crowd certainly believes there are exceptions to that rule:

That looks a lot more like a wall than a bridge.
Fences back up around the Capitol, and our border still wide open.

Democrats want everybody to believe that “walls don’t work” unless of course they’re being used to “protect” the elite.
Biden builds a wall around the U.S. Capitol to protect him & federal elites from American citizens.
But he refuses to build a wall on our border to protect citizens from drug cartels & record illegal immigration from 150 countries.

Why is it that every time Joe Biden comes to the Capitol he builds a wall around it but he refuses to protect our southern border in the same way? pic.twitter.com/E6sqLzZtSt

Walls around our Capitol but not on our border. Prime example of what is wrong with @TheDemocrats https://t.co/L3RIak98qg

If you were still asking whether it was the Science OR the Politics driving Pelosi’s decisions, now you know!
Pelosi’s mask mandate was never about the science, it was always about the politics. Just like her new border wall around the Capitol is all about the politics. https://t.co/i2Z32Lullm

There’s a narrative that the Dems are trying hard to maintain.
