Joaquin Castro doubles down amid backlash over tweeting names of Trump donors

I’m no Castro fan, and I met both the Castro brothers when I was much younger. They are Vichy Democrats, however, I have to give a huge
to Joaquin for following in Henry B. Gonzalez’ footsteps and exposing Trump’s wealthy San Antonio donors to the community.One of them is Bill Miller’s BBQ, a really good fast food BBQ place(at least it was in the 70s and 80s) that’s a San Antonio icon. This will probably hurt their sales. Well, so sad, too bad. Americans have the right to boycott, and the right to know who donates to whom. The wailing from Republicans that Castro is somehow doxxing their donors is music to my ears.
The thing to watch here is Nancy Pelosi’s reaction, because gathering money from donors is her only talent. I expect her to demand an apology from Castro. I could be wrong, but we shall see.
It’s the corruption, stupid.
