House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., reaffirmed her support for President Barack Obama’s emergency funding request for the child migrant crisis at the Southern border while slamming Republicans at her weekly news conference Thursday.

“It’s stunning to me how the Republicans have tried to politicize this issue,” Pelosi said. “We must act in the best interest … of the children … and that means we need the resources to get that job done.”
