Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

He said this in January, then in February, then again in March, now in April. Our weak president who promised to end this in 24 hours has no plan and Putin is just laughing at him. Empty, hollow threats and promises is Trump’s whole game.
