Biden DoJ-indicted conservative Dem Henry Cuellar turns on his party, goes on Fox and has a go at Dems over Abrego Garca

Cuellar said making Abrego Garcia the face of immigration advocacy damages the party’s credibility with voters.

Henry Cuellar on Abrego García: "This is not the right person to be saying that we need to bring him back to the United States. I understand the arguments about due process, but this is not the case to fight on. Democrats should not take this issue."

what part of the Constitutional order he has to toss under the bus whilst doing so.

Cuellar went after Biden for much of his (Biden's) term.

From the indictment to the endorsement.... connecting the dots on this one was way too easy.

Anyone but a progressive. I wonder if they have it in a PDF file.

"If anybody should be grateful for due process (KRASNOV) should be," and the same goes for CUELLAR now. What irks is how he has had it both ways forever, always talking to wingnuts on the air while reaping the endorsements from Speaker PELOSI and all other party leaders.
