"Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry's daughters, will not like. Oh' well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!"
"because if the president succeeds, the country succeeds."
"I think anybody that puts party before their country is doing a disservice to their country,"
President Trump criticized Rep. Henry Cuellar for a perceived lack of loyalty after granting him a pardon, suggesting political expectations tied to House control. Cuellar described himself as a conservative Democrat willing to work with the administration and said he prayed for the president, stating that if the president succeeds, the country succeeds. Cuellar invoked Lyndon Johnson’s priority of country over party and said putting party before country is a disservice. Trump noted that the Biden administration brought charges against Cuellar, referenced a daughters’ letter requesting clemency, and framed the pardon as stopping a “weaponized” prosecution.
