Everyone needs a ride or die like Lindsey. The kind that holds your hair back when you puke. Loyal no matter what. Cheerleading you every step of the way no matter how unhinged your behavior.
Lindsey has been supporting this Trump/Noem/Homan/Miller “immigration” policy every step of the way.

He was filming. He got pepper sprayed. He was trying to crawl away. They DRAGGED him into the fray, disarmed him. Put him on his knees, and shot him in the head. He never once reached for his gun.

It's a fact. This administration has been a disaster for our country.
Instead of making life better for all Americans, he's playing King of the World trying to acquire countries who want nothing to do with us. He's sending armed thugs into American communities and terrorizing the innocent.

Trump’s masked federal agents just executed another protester. Shot him in cold blood. A nurse. A citizen.
Believe what you see. Not what they say.
This is indefensible and must be stopped.
