Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

Arkansas Democrats and @YDArkansas are appalled at the violent & absolutely inappropriate content leaked from the Young Republicans leadership chat.

We strongly condemn these messages and call on every single one of these so-called “leaders” to step down or be removed.
