Senator Gallego is a patriot. Latinx and veterans should never vote for a racist traitor. I can't wait until he and Schiff impeach the orange menace again: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/adam-schiff-poem-democracy

I cannot understand how he could have voted to confirm any of Trump's nominees for any reason, especially claiming someone else could be worse!

I agree!! I was going to ask if they asked him why he voted for an election denier for Amb to China.

Inexplicable! The odious David Perdue is an antisemitic election denier and got 16 Senate Dems voting to confirm him! All Dems in Congress need to unite in voting NO to everything on the Trump agenda. All we can do now is join together in solidarity to oppose everything he and the MAGAs want!

It is easy to stand up for RIGHT and DEMOCRACY. Gallego and Kelly, also from Arizona, have not. If you want to be a MAGA DEMOCRAT, quit asking Progressive Democrats for $200 to fight Trump. Neither need money. They need a backbone!

Senator Gallego voted to confirm an election denying Trump nominee last week. It's really frustrating me that even independent meadia like Meidas isn't holding them accountable for doing one thing while saying another.

I honor your opinion and your right to have it, but I can barely imagine the conflicts, un-seen--to us who may not be Latinos--whispers, pressures, and judgments Senator Gallego has to deal with. Walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls would surely be easier.

I'm asking this in good faith, not trying to create conflict in this good community: Why do you believe the Latino community was pushing the Senator to vote for Georgia election denying David Perdue as Ambassdor to China? Why does that have to do with his constituents or the latino community?

It's always going to be an out for him if we have no standards at all.

Modifying my question I asked elswhere, and I'm not trying to be confrontational. Good faith discussion/disagreement is important in a community like Meidas!

Why do you believe the constituents was pushing the Senator to vote for Georgia election denying David Perdue as Ambassdor to China? You're implying he shouldn't have expended political capital opposing Perdue. Why would his consitutents get pissed about that? What am I missing on that front?

We have to continue to dismantle the pillars that are holding up the entire regime.

Gallego voted for Douglas Collins - head of Veterans Affairs. It is Collins who is doing the damage - not Trump. Collins could stand up for Veterans or RESIGN and work FOR Veterans, but he is a Trump sycophant. Just remember when you are assigning Hero Status be certain that your hero actually is one!
