'Cowboys for Trump" asshole Couy Griffin hits rock bottom, finally

Once known for fiery speeches and his Cowboys for Trump caravans, Couy Griffin passed this winter laboring quietly on his father’s ranch in Catron County, tending to the herd, mending fences and “trying not [to]starve,” as he put it.

What this tormented time requires, Griffin has decided, is healing and withdrawing his support for President Donald Trump, even if it pains him slightly to say it.

“To be honest with you, it’s really hard for me to even listen to him anymore,” said Griffin, the founder of Cowboys for Trump, once famous for riding quarter horses through Washington, D.C., in the president’s support.

It took this prick more than 5 years to figure his error out. No apologies. No recognition for the damage he did, or acknowledgment that innocent people were victimized and are, STILL, without recourse; what about their healing? Anyone care to wager whether he’s already pushing at the trough for some free money?

Once they fall off the Trump grift train, only then does it matter.

I filed a request to inspect public records (the New Mexico version of a FOIA is an IPRA) for his reimbursement from the County for his horse and trailer so he could be in a parade in New York. He had to pay it back to the County.
I made a donation to Planned in his name. Juvenile fun for me.
I’m so glad Ponietz posted this in DU.

Good to see you're still here. I hope you're well.

When I read this, you were the first person I thought of. 😂 That clown was a burr beneath your saddle blanket for many years. He bought into the Trump Derangement Syndrome hook, line, and sinker. He finally figured out what we knew all along: Trump only cares about Trump.

When I read the first sentence of post "Couy Griffin passed this winter...." I thought the idiot had died! No such luck, huh?

Turn New Mexico blue.

I see you here from time to time. Politics in our County has been crazy for a few years. The state Democratic Party dissolved our county Democratic Party for a few years (long story). The Chair of the State Republican Party was also Couy’s replacement as County Commissioner, Amy Barela. She was taken to Court for not abiding by the State Republican Party’s rules. She lost.
Yesterday she lost her County Commissioner primary by 45 votes. Even our local Republicans are sick of the corruption within their party.

Yesterday’s Primary Election was a day to celebrate that even Democratic Party members celebrated because the local Republican candidate for Sheriff is a woman member of the Mescalero Apache tribe.

these nitwits have been driving you crazy for years/decades. It's nice to see some of them are finally stirring from their slumber, but they still haven't been turned into human beings yet. Let's hope some of the younger people are more aware of the world we live in and change things for the better.

Take care of your wonderful self.
