In Donald Trump’s second North Carolina rally of the day, Senator Richard Burr was nowhere to be found…nor was he at the first.
Just last week, Sen. Burr said “there’s not a separation” between him and Trump. If that’s the case, where was the senator today?
Maybe it’s Trump’s disrespect of veterans, or his crude comments toward women, or his dangerous lack of understanding of our nation’s most fragile secrets.
Sen. Burr can run, but he can’t hide.
We know exactly who the real Donald Trump is, and by supporting him, Sen. Burr shows us exactly who he is, too.
Speaking of missing Trump rallies, this happened earlier……
