Trump used to yell Lock her up (referring to Hillary Clinton). Now it's our turn to chant LOCK HIM UP. LOCK HIM UP!

[@Rick-vy1zq]

And they aren’t yelling lock him up. It’s the hypocrisy of it all.

Don. Take a peek at podcaster Harry Sisson, 21. He is bright, quick, and a joy to watch. He gives me hope for the GenZ'ers. I'd love to see him and Maxwell"Max" Frost, 27, congressman , Florida, on this show. You could ask these young activists directly what the 30 and under are hearing and responding to.
