TIM WALZ now targeted with scurrilous claims after Democrats relentlessly smear JD Vance with one fake news report after another, each designed to damage his reputation. Did those political bolsheviks really think their naked lies and absurd falsehoods would go unanswered?!?! 
Nonsanctuary cities and states could retaliate against sanctuary cities that have shipped out migrants from their streets to Republican-run jurisdictions under a new proposal.
