LET THAT SINK IN!
THIS is who leftists are violently protesting for, and throwing their futures away to protect. How many stories like this need to be exposed before the left realizes they are defending criminals? https://t.co/ZqIfX3FcWS
Democrats are going to the mattresses to defend illegal aliens, even telling their Leftist supporters to 'put their bodies on the line' for this.
Of Course. Uber needs looked at. https://t.co/3xcFyFxoXT
