The Dumbfk of Homeland Security is lying his redneck off as he explains why Oscar Belgal was whisked out of the hospital right after being shot in the neck.

My constituent Melanie from Chelsea was abducted by ICE, taken away from her young children–one with autism–& her husband. She has lived lawfully in the U.S. for years and is being held by ICE with an active ear infection & denied access to her anti-anxiety medication.

Folks have insulted: 

My Southern drawl. 
My loc’d hair. 
My clothes. 
My shoes. 
My intelligence. 
I’ve been called a ghetto Black b!t€h.

Now @JDVance says I don’t belong and should leave the very country my ancestors helped build.

This is a lot y’all. It is.
