Harris would have said not to do it while continuing to supply them with weapons.
Also gay people.
Everyone knows you should use Brawndo! It’s got electrolytes!
No, not in the slightest. They will try anything and everything to get what they want, and usually succeed because there aren’t any actual safeguards in place.
