I doubt very much his family is in danger. That's the sort of shit MAGAts pull, not us. But it doesn't take much talent to figure out Republicans dumped his ass because it was radioactive. A few may have actually been appalled by the stuff he posted.

My family has a corn farm in the Midwest, so I do get it. They also grow soy beans which they started because it was profitable but it’s clearly not anymore. They just signed a lease with a wind farm.
