An illegal president declaring our cities "war ravaged" & authorizing "full force" on American citizens? HELL NO.

Today our unelected Senator #JonHusted spoke at a roundtable in #AkronOhio where he continued to spread misinformation and defend the indefensible.

So we had to show up and set the record straight 😉.
