Trump Blasts Pardon Recipient for Staying a Democrat. Former President Donald Trump is lashing out at Texas congressman Henry Cuellar, accusing him of “disloyalty” for refusing to switch parties—just days after Trump granted him a presidential pardon - According to BBC. Cuellar, a moderate Democrat, was charged last year with bribery, money laundering, and acting on behalf of foreign interests—allegations he and his wife deny. When announcing the pardon, Trump claimed the Biden administration had unfairly targeted Cuellar for opposing open borders. But only hours after the pardon, Cuellar filed for re-election as a Democrat, disappointing Republicans who hoped he would join their party. Trump took to social media, saying Cuellar was choosing to support “radical left” figures who had tried to “destroy” him and his family. Cuellar responded on Fox News, saying he remains “an American, a Texan, and a Democrat,” and added that he prayed for Trump at church. The clash highlights Trump’s long-standing expectation of personal loyalty from those he helps—an issue also raised recently in a lawsuit over “loyalty” questions in federal job applications.
