MAGA Sheriff Fred Harran's lawyer Wally Zimolong says the women shown below in a Bucks County NAACP photo taken in September outside a hearing challenging Harran's #ICE 287(g) agreement are part of a "shadowy network" of "violent and radical" leftists. Wally won't be "intimidated" by them! #PA01

MAGA lawyer Wally Zimolong will not be intimidated by local moms and a Bucks County Unitarian Fellowship who are challenging Sheriff Fred Harran's ICE 287(g) partnership.

Sheriff Fred Harran and his lawyer Wally Zimolong believe these women are part of a "shadowy network" of "violent and radical" leftists.

Wally Zimolong's buffoonish behavior shouldn't shock anyone.
