As reported at The AP, President Donald Trump was non too happy with Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas. President Trump blasted Cuellar following his pardon for running again as a Democrat and not switching parties. Although, to be targeted by the Democrat party and then go back and think you can work with them might be the definition of insanity.
Donald Trump is angry that Rep. Henry Cuellar is running again as a Democrat rather than switch parties after the president pardoned the Texas congressman and his wife in a federal bribery and conspiracy case.
Trump blasted Cuellar for “Such a lack of LOYALTY,”
Suggesting the Republican president might have expected the clemency to bolster the GOP’s narrow House majority heading into the 2026 midterm elections.
Citing a fellow Texas politician, the late President Lyndon Johnson, Cuellar said he was an American, Texan and Democrat, in that order.
“I think anybody that puts party before their country is doing a disservice to their country,” he told Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
