57. That's because people aren't afraid

to stand up to a dead man.

People are very afraid to stand up to Trump, starting with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

They are both disgusting rapist pedophiles.

Chaves should have his name stripped from every street, every building, every monument. He may have done good things, but we don't honor pedophile rapists.
