Quotes
“I don't debate to hate, I fight to unite.
So get to know me and let's make this country a better place.”
“I’ve often wondered how people still consider themselves Democrats with a straight face.
Especially these days with how far left the party has become.
People who are paying attention have either abandoned the party all together or jumped on the radical bandwagon.
I personally ran from the Democrats.
Their hypocrisy didn’t sit right with me.”
“God is my savior & I live for him.”
