Trump Rips Lawmaker He Just Pardoned

December 7, 2025 · 10:22 am ET · Leave a Comment

“President Trump on Sunday offered more insight into his decision to pardon former Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and his wife Imelda, who were both indicted last year on bribery charges, but criticized the former congressman for opting to run as a Democrat in 2026,” The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison – And probably still do!”

He added: “Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry’s daughters, will not like. Oh well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”
