He's turning the chaos game back upon the Democrats. Let them do some infighting now.

GOOSE, MEET GANDER — The indictment of Rep. HENRY CUELLAR (D-Texas) on Friday not only sidelined an outspoken moderate lawmaker and put a potentially flippable seat on the 2024 map, it picked at a scab that’s festered inside the House GOP for months.
Faced with the endless drumbeat of embarrassments from Rep. GEORGE SANTOS (R-N.Y.), 105 Republicans joined with Democrats in December to expel him from Congress. Kicking him out before he’d been convicted of any crime broke with House precedent and was seen by many in the GOP as a self-inflicted wound, cutting their already thin majority even thinner.
Now, Republicans are planning to argue, turnabout is fair play.
The $600,000 foreign bribery scheme Cuellar and his wife, IMELDA, are alleged to have participated in is stunning but nowhere near as jaw-dropping as Santos’ kaleidoscope of lies and grifts. And December’s expulsion came only after the release of a devastating Ethics Committee report detailing the New Yorker’s misdeeds.
But Republicans are betting the public won’t see much of a difference, and they are ready to accuse Democratic leaders and swing-seat members of adhering to a double standard.
Just like clockwork, DONALD TRUMP swooped in Sunday night to step on the GOP’s incipient messaging, calling Cuellar a “Respected Democrat Congressman” and accusing the Biden DOJ on Truth Social of targeting him for his relatively conservative views on border security: “They’re a bunch of D.C. Thugs, and at some point they will be paying a very big price for what they have done to our Country.”
Still, Republicans are confident they can weaponize Cuellar’s bribery indictment — and that of Sen. BOB MENENDEZ (D-N.J.) — to weave a narrative of a corrupt Democratic Party circling the ranks to protect their own.
He's turning the chaos game back upon the Democrats. Let them do some infighting now.
Trump is not a Republican, he’s just using the GOP for his own ends. That’s what I like about him.
Cuellar left the plantation when he spoke out about the border crisis.
Well it worked with crooked Joe...wait, what?
Biden is obviously neck-deep in the Deep State, because they not only work ferociously to protect Joseph Robinette Biden, but his drug addled son Hunter as well.
Biden has done nothing to earn his wealth. Instead he has sold his influence to foreign nations, to acquire hie wealth. He truly is a mob boss, not Trump who you constantly claim is a criminal enterprise.
So, do your best you little mealy mouthed you know what. You lack not only knowledge, but truth too, because you truly are an imbecile of epic proportions.
It was the Republicans that expelled Santos.
Then the same peeps said they weren’t interested in Investigating the Fire Alarm Jamaal, in a cowardly act.
LOL!
Knee-jerk deflection from our jerk FR Democrat Party operative, joesdemocratcuck.
Zero criticism of the Democrat or the Democrats - just an immediate attack on President Trump, the Cleanest Guy In Washington DC.
