#RepublicansBackLosers: are shaken by him, even in a party led by a liar, fraud, and grifter who is also from Queens. Republicans are sticking by #Santos, at least for now. Don’t let Democrats lose this seat again.

FirstEnergy and AEP says, Well, what do we do with these things? I know. Let's bring them to West Virginia. Let's put them on the backs of the West Virginia ratepayers.
