Colom called the claim "totally made up" and said Trump promised America First but delivered "Mississippi last." He says he'll fight for the lower grocery prices, the end to endless war and the full release of the Epstein files that he says Trump promised.

He always like, I've seen this guy, he's not a moderate, but he sits on the board of an organization that wants to defund the police and abolish all prisons. Something's going wrong with these people. How do you respond to his claims that you're too extreme and do you want to, as he says, you sit on the board, defund the police and abolish all prisons? Man, listen, I don't even sit on any boards right now. That's how crazy of a line it is. It's totally made up. And the reality is everything he's saying is lies. And the reality, he's lying because he doesn't want somebody to hold him accountable to the promises he made to the American people. He's the one that promised America first, but he's delivered at Mississippi last. He's only focused on his families and not on our families. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna make him, I'm gonna actually fight for lower grocery prices that he promised. I'm gonna fight to get us out of another endless war that he promised. I'm gonna actually fight to fully release the F -Team files that he promised. All I'm gonna do is hold him accountable to the promises he made to the American people and the people of Mississippi.
