He’s a 35x convicted felon and an assaulter of women who should go to jail because he lead an insurrection at the Capitol! Too bad SS didn’t let him go there and give a speech to his Proud Boys and MAGA followers. Now he’s deporting kidney surgeons and student? We must protest and resist! 💪🏼👏

Maybe whatever this is happening right now. we should all take this as the opportunity. To deport all the Nazis let’s take control and do that. If you hate, this is not the country for you and we just deport your ass.

It's cute that you think we'll take control.
