Now I totally consider that this particular person has solely gotten indicted due to his huge open criticism of the present admin and his opposition to Mayorkas and all issues taking place on the southern border.
Now that being mentioned, I personally help the pardon and the flip… very very like I supported Rep. Van Drew (R-NJ) when he flipped blue to crimson…
The truth is easy, individuals change they usually achieve this for a motive, it’s a second of readability after they notice they’ve been left behind by their workforce mates…
On this case the Dems have radicalized in a manner that’s leaving middle left leaning Dems deserted…
I’d prefer to say welcome to Henry Cuellar specifically if the allegations are true.
