Clay Higgins is a piece of shit in a pile of garbage. He’s always been that and always will be that. And the people who keep voting for him are absolute dickmites.
Clay Higgins was the only member of the House to vote against releasing the Epstein files.
His record also includes allegedly putting a gun to the head of one of his ex-wives, voting for a neo-Nazi, and assaulting an unarmed Black man while working as a cop.

if you have a few spare coins, a local family could really use your help
My neighbors just up the street from us own A-squared pizza in Charlottesville, and their youngest was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
Their family is really nice, and this is a huge bummer right before the holidays. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to help with everything.
