Juanita Frauddrick a sick #pathetic joke #Juanita is envious of Nancy, makes her infamy on smearing a great president like #BillClinton @CommunityMedia3 @medfordmedia #mapoli and is someone desperately in need of @JennyCraigAusNZ #JennyCraig #JuanitaBroadDRICK Expired 15 min fame

Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut

Oh give me a fucking break. You are one of the biggest crooks in Congress with your insider trading. And that drunk you’re married to should be in jail for all the DUI’s and wrecks he has caused. You’re not out of the woods yet, on your J6 scam, either. https://twitter.com/speakerpelosi/status/1637153439367962625

Very expensive to replace city water pipes.
But It would only cost a fraction of the money Democrats have given to Ukraine.
