CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

WE are the last line of defense
