McBride responds

β€œThis is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing,” McBride said. β€œWe should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars. Delawareans sent me here to make the American dream more affordable and accessible and that’s what I’m focused on."

I think we were talking about these children who voted for Trump. They voted for project 2025 so let them get their education at the camp. They don't need college.

@AskTheDevil @JanetZumba_FalPals

@ControlBabe1 Yes, father said they were privileged and he doesn't "understand how thy feel like they have been violated against by society enough that they feel Trump hears them and their struggles"

@b4cks4w They already have enough education to run DOJ, HHS and Dept of Defense. They good.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

So, what do you think about a father who refuses to pay tuition for his two sons in college who voted for Trump? Says he is teaching them a lesson. What say ye?

@AnnetteTRemain There are some of the worst people all around us. I don't put ALL of any group in one bucket. While there may be some bad people in sports and acting, there are also some really good humanitarians among them with causes I support.

@Blueway Some of my proudest moments are when my 40 year old son calls me with someone on the other end thanking me for raising a respectful man. The people he works with, his customers at the post office, and his wife frequently thanks me.
