Hang? Why hang? Lynch seems much punchier and to the point.

I take it that Mr. Buck also thinks Sharia law is a pressing concern in the district.

Good luck with that crap in Fla. 13. Thatā€™s Clearwater the gulf Coastā€™s margaritaville. That might fly in Sarasota or St. Pete but not there. The guyā€™s going to get a capitol police visit and then say he was taken out of context.

Ladiesā€¦there he is.
