Something something Socialism something something MAGA.
Trump is a traitor to America. Trump is run by Putin to whom Trump owes $400 million. Trump is also the biggest moron ever to be president.
Is Republican House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff going to do anything about serial philanderer and child abuser GOP State Rep Aaron Bernstine from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives?
In one video obtained by the USA TODAY Network, Aaron Bernstine, R-10, New Beaver, Lawrence County, is behind the camera, but his hand is shown holding a cigar and offering it to his son.
When the young boy takes a puff, Bernstine tells him to “hit it harder” and “breathe in,” followed by a woman’s voice saying, “No.”
A second video has Bernstine again off camera asking his son, “What are we going to chase in Nashville?” The boy replies in a whisper, “Cadillac p—ssy,” using a vulgar term for vagina.
Trump is defeated. R’s are trying to keep Senate. Horrible debate performance by Ernst in Iowa was a debacle—sits on Ag Committee and could not tell price of corn. Bad. Not good. What are you doing during committee meetings? Watching movies on your IPhone? Sending texts?
