He has cheer led this war all along because he stands hip to hip with Donald Trump. And if you don't believe me, I want you to pay attention on Sunday when Donald Trump comes here at the invitation of Mike Rogers to remind you that in fact Donald Trump is on the ballot through Mike Rogers. They are hip to hip on this war and you are paying the cost. So being bought off by the Muslim Brotherhood, having donors to his campaign from Hamas, that support Hezbollah, is not a problem. If you are going to go to the United States Senate, we need to know are you for America or are you for these? terrorist groups overseas He keeps raising this question about this association with organization. I've never been a part of Be because my mom who's a nurse in Missouri. It doesn't make any sense and it's actually really quite beneath you Mike It's really quite beneath you.
