Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Trump & Vance are a couple of b*tch asses trying to bully Zelensky while demanding his gratitude. Atrocious display of weakness and buffoonery from these two absolute losers.

Stay strong and keep kicking ass, Zelensky ✊️🇺🇦
