Lying comes so natural to these "people". They are beyond disgusting. Im a 15 year army veteran, they are playing a dangerous game messing with our benefits.
Evil has no conscience. What a cowardly representation.
Those who voted for these people, should feel a sense of guilt as now they are seeing the true people of what they voted for.
Just wasting money. Had nothing to do with her question. Get them out of office people.
Americans had a choice on November 2024, to vote for a man that has no soul or spine, versus a woman who had both. They choose the person they relate to more.💯💯💯
Well America, the "Jan 6th coup" is totally complete now!
One thing I wish they'd realize, just bc someone doesn't want to work for crappy wages doesn't mean they should die bc they haven't EARNED Healthcare. Where is the humanity????
That is what they voted for Play stupid games win stupid prizes
My young adult children work their 40+ hours a week but I still carry them on my insurance because with the expense of healthcare their whole checks would be gone. Just because a person can’t afford healthcare care that doesn’t mean they don’t work. The working poor is a serious condition 😢
He didn't come to the town hall meeting prepared; that's how dumb they think their constituency is. God help us all
