42. I don't want my Representatives to do that

Mon Feb 3, 2020, 02:52 PM

Feb 2020

Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-New Jersey: Hing Foo Lee, brother of the late patient advocate John Lee, who was profiled in the Washington Post for his determination to vote in NJ-07 while dealing with stage IV cancer

Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey: Edward Douglas, who faced a lifetime sentence in 2003 for selling crack cocaine, but was released in January thanks to a criminal justice reform bill called the First Step Act passed by Congress in December.

Sen. Bob Menendez executive director of the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault.

Hat Tip to Bonnie Watson Coleman - district/county just south of mine - she's brining a Trump Bedminster undocumented employee!

All four of these guest deserve to sit and stare at Trump with icy eyes.
