Henry Cuellar launched House re-election bid as Democrat days after Trump pardoned him over bribery charges
Days after issuing him a pardon, Donald Trump criticized US House member Henry Cuellar of Texas for deciding to run for re-election as a Democrat.
Trump pardoned Cuellar and the congressman’s wife on Wednesday as they faced bribery charges. They were alleged to have accepted thousands of dollars from Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank in exchange for advancing their interests.
Shortly after the pardon, Cuellar filed for re-election as a Democrat and said he had no intention of changing his party.
This is a grift/performance. Cuellar is a DINO and they know he can’t get elected as a Republican. He almost got primaried last time. Hopefully he gets kicked out this time.
Exactly. He is also more useful to trump with D next to his name.
Guy was found guilty of being bribed by foreign government. He clearly isn’t there for Americans.
