I said what I said. Donald Trump has done enormous damage to this country, and no president should ever be above the law. I look forward to the House impeaching him and seeing him held accountable for all the crimes he has committed. #AngieForFlorida

The President vs. every member of Congress COMBINED. Guess who made more personal financial trades? Donald Trump — with 28,000+ trades. Stock trading by top government officials should be illegal—no owning, buying, or selling stocks.

Cindy High Prices has been MIA while Mississippi families have struggled. Six years in the Senate & not a single townhall to answer for her record. So, we brought the receipts, the evidence is there & let's just say... Vegas has been calling. Check it out for yourself ➡️ whereiscindyhydesmith.com

Where's Cindy Hyde-Smith?
If you have information on Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith's whereabouts - or when she plans to hold a public town hall - Mississippi voters would like to know.
