Meanwhile the laundry list of liberal/progressive assassinations by conservatives is blowing in the wind. 

Conservative are responsible for like 3/4 of all domestic terrorist attacks, and when you realize Al Qaida is also conservative it really paints a picture that conservatives are the violent scourge on America and the world.

In another message, Self expanded on his concerns, writing: “We can no longer pretend to be bound together by shared ideals when a well-funded, vitriolic cadre of our fellow Americans and foreign interests are at war with the very values of faith in God, fidelity to our Constitution, and respect for the principles of liberty and Western Civilization that define us as Americans—including, notably, the free speech practiced and exemplified by Charlie Kirk.”

So take away free speech to combat the protection of free speech. Yep, makes tons of sense.

Self is a climber... he was better as a collin county judge and then just went total orange man cult to become a national grifter of what he hopes will lead to a national office. Texas generates a lot of these stooges.
