without question ignorant, racist, violent, immoral losers who couldn't hack it in 21st century America are trying to destroy it
The White House officially adopts and publishes the Big Lie on its website. It can’t be overstated: these people are the most dangerous group on Earth to the health and freedom of our republic. Not immigrants, not foreigners, not foreign nations. Them.
