Nontheless, This is what came through loud & clear. How can it not.

"The Justice Dems squad just voted against keeping our Congresspeople safe

AOC, once quoted as saying “I thought I was going to die” during the riot voted AGAINST protecting the Capitol

They saw what happened on Jan 6th & apparently don’t care whether or not it happens again"


"Recall when Cortez derrided VP Harris?"

"So according to Cortez it was wrong for MVP to warn migrants not to come here because it’s unsafe but according to their united NO vote, it’s ok to leave Afghan translators to be beheaded & killed?"

Explain what they now say to those Afghans, & those Cap Police.

They voted with Chip Roy?
