Are you sure you’re not making that up or parroting right wing misinformation?

“Welcome to the United States Senate. That's what we have to do. While I have people from around the country and back home that say, 'Do a Republican-only bill. Just get all of our priorities and none of theirs,' I smile at them and say, 'Welcome to governance,'" Lankford said.
Lankford said the border has become a political pawn, especially during an election year, claiming a popular national commentator warned against the bill, weeks before details on the bill were even known.
"They told me flat out that if you put out a bill that tries to solve the border crisis during this presidential year, I will do whatever I can to destroy you because I do not want you to solve this during a presidential election," Lankford said.”
I haven’t seen anything where he turned against it. But I didn’t look too hard.
