Who was the spokesman??? Reporterette Paula Reid’s husband.
For anyone who had a doubt, doubt no longer.
The Chamber IS the enemy.
Chamber of Commerce? That’s an oxymoron. More like Chamber of Deep State.

Bought and paid for by the Chicoms.
“ Chamber of Commerce? That’s an oxymoron. More like Chamber of Deep State.”
