Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a identified neo-Nazi.
These folks used to stroll round with white hoods at evening. Now they’re strolling round with white hoods within the daytime. Look, it didn’t shock me that a few of these people voted in opposition to help to Israel, however I used to be inspired to see by a virtually 10-to-1 mark that Republicans supported our allies on the battlefield.
