Politician
Sept. 12, 2018

Sept. 11, 2018
Tweet - "Today, we remember #September11. We'll never forget the innocent Americans we lost 17 years ago, and those who fought overseas to defend our freedom. This country was united by love and common purpose in the days & years after the attack. In those dark times, we found the light."
