Rep-Elect Christian Menefee on Bloomberg interview just now is for abolishing ICE. What is remarkable is that his

VERY RED district who voted for trump, has overwhelemingly elected him by such a wide margin.

It will be interesting if little mikey allows him to be sworn in, or if he plays his previous delay games in swearing in newly elected Democrats.


Just listening to him from healthcare to immigration he is definitely liberal on those and a host of issues.

It is very BLUE! That is why Abbott delayed so long in scheduling this election to replace our deceased congressman. It was so they could protect the Republican majority.
