Trump has the lowest approval rating in modern history, and Republicans know they can’t win fairly so they're cheating. They’re trying to erase Congressman Cleaver’s seat, erase voters, and erase accountability. This is the new Republican playbook: bend the knee to a failed president, tear down anything that gets in their way, and cling to power by silencing voices they can’t beat at the ballot box. It’s not politics as usual anymore. It’s a raw fight between democracy and tyranny. Congressman Cleaver is my friend and my ally. And I’ll stand with him—and with every Missourian whose voice they’re trying to silence—because this isn’t just about one district. It’s about whether we’re still a country where the people choose their leaders, or a country where politicians choose their voters. Republicans are willing to sell out their integrity to keep a weak man happy. That’s the choice they’ve made. And history will remember them for siding with tyranny.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T14:57:50Z |
