Republicans and MAGA constantly whine about free speech but will support this bullshit. They are cowards and so not support America or its Constitution.

Our dumb president is upset that Cuellar didn't change parties. That says a lot about the leader of the Republican party.

Cuellar's a crook, deserves to be in jail, and has such a huge ego that he's running for office.

Trump has no self awareness. He posted this on his stupid social media platform:

His projection is strong.

Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it.
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
