Impeachment manager. General Counsel for Cannabis Control Board. Gosh…. I thought that we had a chance for a lawyer for BLM and former General Counsel for FTX. Still, pretty good woke resumes. The People’s Republic thanks you, Beck.
And whom may I ask is heading up her staff position on the reapportionment of unethical campaign contributions. I haven’t heard anyone going to take the bullet on that shameful event at this time or did Rebecca put this in the moving on file?
Stacking her staff with communists.
A Rhode Island swamp creature and a grifter attorney whose justice reform policies are working wonders here in VT. She’s off to a predictible start. Too bad she’s a newbie in a House under a GOP majority.
She will vote yes on every un-American bill that comes up.
Vermont voters hope you enjoy who you voted for when she comes back and bites you where it hurts
When will Becca be returning the $1,000,000 donation, she got from FTX? If she does not return it to the fund that will help all those people who lost their lives savings in that swindle, then she is part of the ring of thieves. This will tell you everything you need to know about Ms Becca Ballint and what she thinks of hard-working people trying to invest and make a bit more.
I think Sam Bankman-Fried might be a perfect fit!
