Keep on fighting for yourself and this cause!! We're with you!
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

If kidnapping a foreign president isn’t enough to get him out of office, why would the Epstein files be a silver bullet?
