Several months before Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) was carjacked in Washington D.C., the Washington Post reported that the Washington D.C. Council had voted to “reduce the maximum penalties for offenses such as burglaries, carjackings and robberies.”

Congress will do what they always do. They will pass a law that the City can do what they do with ordinary citizens, but any act against a Congress critter will be punishable by death. There, covered for own selves. Let the little people suffer.

The media was extremely reluctant to mention that Cuellar is a Democrat. It’s clear that they were concerned about the obviousness of the karma.

No need for such a law. I’m sure some accommodating judge will rule that way already ... if the congress critter is a democrat, that is.

Time for Cuellar to switch parties.

Did the jackers bring him back? Or just leave him on the curb like a two-bit hooker?

Henry’s single digit I.Q. has come back to bite him on the ass. ROTFL!

We keep lowering standards to accommodate our thirteen-percenters.

Saw him on Hannity. Pretty disgusting squish democrat. Wouldn’t blame any aspect of his people for being responsible for it. Anyone thinking he’s switch parties is wishing for something stupid.

Dems have a simple solution. Buy all the wanna be carjackers a new car. Then they can spend their time protecting their car instead of car jacking someone else.

Pols like Cuellar will demand - and get - 24/7 armed security around them - while making sure YOU can’t defend yourself and loved ones with deadly force.

Sounds like the democrats in congress and senate have friends in high places for protection.

Washington DC voted for the people who are turning the city into a hellhole. I have ZERO sympathy for these folks.
