Obama to host 18 Democrats, no Republicans, for immigration dinner
President Obama will host numerous lawmakers at the White House for dinner Wednesday to brief them on the eve of announcing executive action on immigration reform.
However, he didn’t invite any Republicans.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama would have dinner later Wednesday with 18 Democratic lawmakers to discuss immigration.
When asked why Obama wouldn’t break bread with GOP leaders, Earnest replied, “We’ve had any number of countless conversations with Republicans.”
“If it were only dinner that was required,” he added when pressed on whether Obama was preventing compromise with Republicans.
