Young Conservatives of Texas: "Democrats rioting over the loss of their free, trafficked labor? History really has come full circle."

Rep. Tony Tinderholt: "I'm honored to have the support of County Judge Tim O'Hare and Commissioners Manny Ramierez and Matt Krause. Conservatives across Tarrant County are continuing to coalesce behind our campaign to bring real conservative leadership to the commissioner's court!"

It is your First Amendment right to protest peacefully, and this prima-Donald just doesn't want his birthday party ruined. It's his party, he can cry if he wants to. We'll be making our voices heard."
