Peter Navarro talks about being persecuted:



Navarro talks about being persecuted: “I’m a middle class professor who served 4 years honorably .. saving lives, creating jobs. And now I’m facing $1 million in legal bills and they put me in leg irons. This country can’t function if we have people doing that to people like me.”

Because this middle-class professor who states he "served 4 years honorably", was actively involved in a plot to bring down the Republic and illegally install the Squatter-in-Chief, all of which he publicly admitted.

What a bunch of cry-babies!

Something about replacing the certified electors with "alternative electors" appointed by

Your case doesn't hold water, Peter, and all the pleas to the base won't make illegal acts legal.

Did you ask them, "Do you know who I am?" Because that would have stopped everything immediately. Take some responsibility, man.
