6. Let me get this straight

Thursday

This "restaurateur" is a hard-core Trump supporter. Yet he hires illegals to work in his bars. Now he's surprised that his workers are being targeted?

So what does he do? He tries to hide his illegals from Trump's ICE thugs. Now that he's in the news, they'll be keeping an eye on his establishments.

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy? Clearly this guy has no self-awareness or ethics.
