Since effectively becoming the leader of the Republican Party last week, Donald Trump has already suggested defaulting on our debt and has doubled down on his disgusting attacks on former prisoner of war Senator John McCain.
Accidental Congressman Cresent Hardy has emphasized his support for Trump and said Trump’s “tone doesn’t bother [him]” and “he’s speaking the truth.”
“Supporting Trump comes at a serious cost for Hardy who will have to answer for his reckless and hateful comments every day until the election. This week’s cost for Hardy is embracing a disastrous debt default and doubling down on vicious attacks against a former prisoner of war,” said Barb Solish of the DCCC.
