Every single one of these people should be a pariah within the Democratic Party. Not one of them should ever know a moment of peace again.
Never forget who sold us out:

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
