THANK YOU SPEAKER PELOSI: THIS IS WHAT A MORAL DEGENERATE DESERVES.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT TRUMP, AND HIS FASCIST FOLLOWERS DESERVE: NO RESPECT. THEIR DESIRE TO SELL OUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND PLEASE THEIR RUSSIAN OVERLORDS, SHOWS THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE; CRIMINALS. A BOGUS ELECTION GAVE US A FRAUD IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BOUGHT AND PAID FOR.
