  2. I wonder if she is going to try to post bail with her counterfeit money. It is a shame that she could not try to get a real job, earn real money and have pride. TRASH! By the way Ayana Morisseau, we don’t stand for that crap in JOCO so you should have stayed in Charlotte. We got a great Sheriff here and a super team of Deputies so tell all your friends back home.

  3. She is a progressive liberal and those charges does not apply to her only to Republicans !!! She done no more than our man Biden has done so leave her alone. VOTE BLUE UNTIL WE ARE THROUGH!!!!
