Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said Friday on MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports” that she was hopeful former President Donald Trump will be banned from other state ballots following the Colorado Supreme Court ruling.
Wasserman Schultz said, “I know there has been a lot of chatter over the last few days since this court ruling about whether or not section three of the 14th Amendment was intended to apply to presidents of the United States, foreign presidents. The Section 3 begins, ‘No person shall,’ I mean, it doesn’t have an exception for other offices, and it applies specifically if you are an officer of the United States and you swore to uphold an oath to support the Constitution of the United States.”

Yes. Trump is the modern day Abe Lincoln. I hope they run an ad equating Trump to Abe and the Democrats as slave holders. That would be a hoot.
Trump really and truly drives these people into distorted thinking...evil thinking.
SCOTUS denied Jack Smith timeline.
Sooo, we had an insurrection by Trump supporters who wanted to take down the president........ wait, they wanted to take down their much loved President Trump as they were welcomed in and casually wandered around peacefully?

I forgot old Mayonnaise hair was even still in Congress. Man on man what a backbencher she has become.
Because we cannot have the people voting in a Democracy!
Well you don’t really want people who love America to run the country do you?
This says clearly what she thinks about our country how it should be run.

Party members are in a panic they are dragging out every nitwit in the party to gain ground.

But all good things must come to an end.
A symbol of ugly inside and out, the dog dug her up
