Get ready for much more of this. If Biden is allowed to take office it will be open season on Americans abroad. There will be a long line of body bags and their deaths will be the fault of the Biden/Harris administration, the leftist media, and everyone who voted for them, even the dead voters. Naturally the commie media will somehow spin it into Trump’s fault and the lazy half of the country’s population will believe it because they don’t have enough intelligence to know they are being lied to and besides its easier to just believe what CNN says and digging deeper to find the truth is so hard.
