As we told you earlier, Sen. Elizabeth Warren was outside the Homestead detention center today, just hours before the first Democrat debate begins in Florida, and called it a “stain on our country.” Warren conveniently left out the fact that the center opened in 2015 under the Obama administration.
There are a lot of different ways that we get in the fight. And one of them is that you show up. I'm at the Homestead detention center today and I hope you'll be watching. https://t.co/vzXqUlaiIM

Warren called for emergency funding for border-related issues, and guess what she missed in the process:
Instead of making it to the Senate vote on emergency border funding at 2pm, Elizabeth Warren is holding a photo op outside the Homestead Detention Center in Florida to talk about…

You just can’t make this stuff up:
Elizabeth Warren missing a Senate vote on border funding for a photo op on the need for border funding is the perfect encapsulation of 2020 Democrats. https://t.co/OMnL0qzI6l

Add Warren to the list — she's skipping major votes on border funding to campaign/hold a photo op on border funding. Absolutely incredible. https://t.co/OMnL0qzI6l pic.twitter.com/xrKoEqJj0u

The House bill was defeated in the Senate, and others missed the vote as well:
