Old Audio Surfaces In Which Mick Mulvaney Calls Trump’s Border Wall ‘Absurd And Almost Childish,’ Then Admits That A Barrier Is ‘Necessary’

On Friday, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski dropped an audio file in which Mick Mulvaney, President Trump’s incoming chief of staff, refers to the president’s ideas regarding border security as “absurd and almost childish.”

The audio comes from an August 25, 2015 radio exchange with Patti Mercer.
