Has Julian Castro ever spoke out against the Lone Star flag of Texas? One of the major reasons for Texas independence was the move to abolish slavery in Mexican territory including Texas.

They’ve got their talking points - f’em all.

This stops here. These anti-American assholes can go find another country to destroy.

Keep it up, idiots. The only problem next year will be figuring out which of your dumb-ass comments we WON’T run as ads. Talk about a target-rich environment.

Everybody be sure to thank Nikki Haley for kicking off this erasure of American history.

Someone needs to leave the U.S. Castro decreases the mean IQ everywhere he speaks.

The gene pool needs chlorine.

I like a lot about Nikki Haley, but you are correct. That was a terrible moment of weakness, and this is the continued reverberation of that decision.

I have so many thoughts I don't know where to begin so I'll just ask this: Exactly how many stars must be on the flag before it is no longer offensive?

Bwah hah hah, Julian is toast.

Between shaming the Betsy Ross flag and demanding abortions for trannies, he’s slit his own throat. I’m enjoying the schadenfreude.

Man o man, this is just getting scarier and scarier everyday. I think Jesus is saddling up his white war horse right about now.

Isn’t it strange all these so-called Hispanic “civil rights” attorneys and politicians want unlimited illegal aliens to be admitted and are mostly anti- American?

You First, Julian-— you absolute lying sack of crap fraud. The “return” of Norte Mehico is your prime objective. Well it is never going to happen pendejo. Just go do some more coke-— and drink a little white wine by the pool with your... partner.

Because of our HEROES.. who never knew who would have to say-—— You First. From friend Mac MacAnally:

Betsy Ross was a Quaker and abolitionist
