Beto O’Rouke – Govt WILL mandate what your belief is. HE will decide what you believe in – not your Scriptures.

An Open Letter to the Attorney General: Gordon, Do Your Job – Lock Her (Joycie Craig) Up.
I’m using “Lock Her Up” in the sense used when it is chanted at Trump rallies: Hold her legally accountable; hold her to the same standard as anyone else would be.
