'No more Mr. Nice guy': Trump bashes Rep. Henry Cuellar for running as a Democrat after pardon

President Donald Trump criticized Rep. Henry Cuellar for “a lack of loyalty” for running as a Democrat after receiving a presidential pardon.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump criticized Rep. Henry Cuellar for “a lack of loyalty” for running as a Democrat after receiving a presidential pardon.

“Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry’s daughters, will not like,” Trump said in a Sunday post to Truth Social. “Oh’ well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”

Trump announced last week that he was pardoning Cuellar, a Texas Democrat who was indicted last year on bribery and money laundering charges. Cuellar thanked the president at the time in a post to X “for his tremendous leadership and for taking the time to look at the facts.”

Asked last week whether any deal was cut with the White House, Cuellar told reporters “no.”

In his Sunday post to Truth Social, Trump said that he “never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people — They were treated sooo BADLY!”
