Pete's Message, Back in New Hampshire

Published | Video Starts at 04:44

We know what is wrong right now in our country. We see scenes unfolding right now that are especially insulting to anybody who lives by the motto of live free or die. An out of control president who thinks he can impose a tax on you without even going to Congress, charging you $1,000 or more per household in tariffs. Although fortunately the Supreme Court stood up and said that's illegal. People being picked up off of the streets because of an op ed that they wrote. (04:44–04:55)

CLAIM

Asserts that tariffs imposed by the president cost households $1,000 or more without congressional approval.
