Translation: I know Gabbard is unqualified for the job, but I’ll vote for her anyway because I’m afraid of Trump’s wrath. Also, John Cornyn doesn’t actually believe a president has the right to appoint anyone he wants to his cabinet—he voted against six of President Biden’s nominees.

If you STILL cannot bring yourself to admit the obvious fact that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, how can we trust you to refuse illegal orders from Donald Trump when you become attorney general? Very concerning.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.
