The Democrats should Willie-Horton the hell out of this guy. Make him the face of Trump’s evil.
NBC: “A man pardoned by Trump for storming the Capitol was arrested on child molestation charges in Tennessee, tried to use an anticipated Jan. 6 payout to silence the victim. Andrew Paul Johnson, 44, was extradited to Florida…” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
