Very little is held back in this diatribe by Rep. Clare Hoffman against the Commie-ridden CIO. The America-Firster Hoffman also fought the polio vaccination program beginning in mid-50's (Commie-ridden), & etc., and worked badly w/Ds+Rs alike in his 30 yr House career. #books pic.twitter.com/3dGHG7AfCO
