'Trump slams Texas Democrat's 'lack of loyalty' after granting him pardon' [View all]

"President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Henry Cuellar on Sunday, just days after pardoning the Texas Democrat, accusing him of disloyalty for filing to run for re-election as a Democrat."

“ 'The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years,' Trump wrote in a long social media post on Sunday morning. 'Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again … as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison – And probably still do! Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry’s daughters, will not like. Oh well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!' "
