(Blue dog, correct term?) Henry CUELLAR takes the Pardon *and* the trashing, who knew KRASNOV expected loyalty?

[UTUSN]

His district is right on the Southern Border (Laredo, TX) and careerwise has voted near-total-Dem while in the most recent terms vocally criticizing the Dem admin about immigration policy and therefore being lovingly featured on the Faux Propaganda outlet. I don't know what other Conservative things he favors, but while he has had Progressive young women challenging him in recent primaries he still has had the Dem congressional hierarchy endorsing him supposedly because (well, his near total Dem record and) the Progressives will lose to full-on Repukes in that Big Ranch and Oil bosses area.

Trump Rages Against House Democrat He Just Pardoned: ‘Such a Lack of LOYALTY!’

.... In a blistering post to Truth Social early Sunday, the president bashed Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) for announcing his intent to run for re-election as a Democrat, despite receiving a pardon from the president. Cuellar was facing charges for allegedly taking over $600,000 in foreign bribes. (The congressman’s wife, Imelda, was also charged in connection with the scheme.) ....

The president went on to cite a letter he’d received from Cuellar’s two daughters — who pleaded for a pardon for their parents. ....

But Trump quickly changed his tune. ....

... “Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry’s daughters, will not like. Oh’ well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”

Cuellar, on Wednesday, said “Nothing has changed — I’m a good old conservative Democrat.”

Fox’s Maria Bartiromo Confronts Newly-Pardoned Henry Cuellar About Trump Trashing Him

.... Cuellar told Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures that he believed the indictment was due to his criticism of then-President Joe Biden’s open border (sic). ....

Bartiromo then pressed Cuellar asking, “What do you want to say about the president’s Truth Social this morning?”

“Well, again, let me just say this: I was at church this morning with my wife. I prayed for the president, I prayed for his family, and I prayed for the presidency, because if the president succeeds, the country succeeds. And again, as probably the most bipartisan individual, I don’t vote party. I vote for what’s right for the country,” Cuellar said.

He added, “I am a conservative Democrat, but I will work with the president. I’ve reached out to the administration. I told them, you know, name the folks, Tom Homan, Kristi [Noem]...and say, hey, can we sit down, I’d love to sit down and see where we can find common ground.”
