#Democrats aren’t innocent either..
We still don’t have a local bridge!

Your administration, including your attorney general couldn’t even be bothered to return emails after nearly getting murdered outside of my converted #evangelical #Church #home #mckeesport

I wonder if I was a #Jew would it make a difference?
