As I said in my reply, I pass no judgement on Byron. But just as I rejoice in a MAGAt who supported Trump and now later finds out his father gets deported. They didn't know that the harm would come to them and theirs, but were fine when they thought it would happen to others. Do I feel bad for the father. Sure, but not for the MAGAt.

That's where Byron now finds himself. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for him. As I said, fuck him.
