Bowman, learn how to code.

He will snatch United Way donation jars in his next career.
What a disgrace to our House of Representatives this clown is. Nothing but an ignorant uneducated loud mouth trying to whip up the people with his hatred and division. I’m so glad that the people saw right through this communist pig.
Good Riddance Clown, and take AOC with you!
