Is 'irony' or 'hypocracy' the word I want f/ GOP shutting down DHS over immigration?

[Panich52]

Wasn't it just recently that Repubs were calling for more border guards to keep those canteloupe-calved, disease ridden aliens out?

So why add an intentional poison pill rider to a funding bill which might provide more of those border patrols? And poison it w/ an anti-immigration rider they knew Dems would oppose.

Is logic an absolutely foreign concept to House Repubs?

Am I answering my own questions...?

1. And Islamic extremists!

It's mind boggling they would even consider this.

2. I go with irony, but hypocrisy can be made to work too. nt

3. Hypocrony? Ironicracy?

They are in new territory, maybe we need a new word?

4. I'd say it's a conundrum of interests

...appealing to their republican base's bigotry and racism clashed with their investments in the security state.
