That’s how Communist, Socialists, Fascists operate! None of that independent thinking crap! Thanks Chris Welch for showing your true colors!

Typical Democrat response. Instead of discussing pros and cons of Crespo’s budget and possibly use one or two suggestions, Welch literally killed the messenger, totally neutered him.

Right out of Madigan’s playbook of getting rid of dissenters.

Heretic….off with his head!!!
