Am I the only one who doesn’t trust this Sullivan asshole, either?

Smart move on Bonnen’s part, calling for the release of the entire, unaltered recording.

Love the phrase “unfettered ammunition”. Sounds like an NRA sub-sect.

Typical Texas GOP - dumber than dirt. Admit it, Bonnen - you are an idiot, a moron.
