Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, August 06, 2026

John Gannon says he deeply regrets his decision to vote for President Trump after his fiance, an immigrant from Venezuela, was arrested and detained by federal immigration agents last month. A lifelong Republican and Texas businessman, Gannon, 75, said his plans to marry 45-year-old Yasmin Suarez Reyes were derailed when she was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Houston's international airport in late July. "I voted for Trump," he told CBS News during an interview Wednesday, before criticizing ICE. "They are picking up law-abiding citizens. They're destroying families, jobs." Asked what he would tell Mr. Trump if given the chance to talk to him, Gannon said he would ask the president, "What are you doing?" "Go after the criminals. We're all for that. But leave the mom and pops and the kids alone. Man, he's destroying families," Gannon added.

The Venezuelan lass will catch Corky and TFDNihilist's eye for sure.

Dumfuq John Gannon ought to impersonate King Charles at a party next Halloween.

He'll still vote Republican on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 or just stay at home.

Can't vote for a Democrat like James Talarico, right "pardner?"

She stayed past the tourist visa of 90 days and now claims she applied for asylum... She never got approval and she knew it. Ole Gannon should have known better.

The USA is no longer a revolving door for every Tom, Dick and Pedro to freely invade.

Nonsense. Gannon got exactly what he voted for. His arm-candy knew she was in the country illegally. If he didn't know, He's retarded.

And the problem is, what, Mr. Gannon?
Because this is what you voted for.
Although, admittedly, the pain would be inflicted on other folks.
Not you.
Well, you-hoo.
