Donald Trumps first stop on his scorched-earth tour to punish Republicans who spurned him with impeachment votes is set to take place in Cleveland on June 26, according to CNN. First target: GOP Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, representing Ohio's 16th District, which covers some of Cleveland's West Side suburbs extending down into rural Akron.
Gonzalez, a former wide receiver for Ohio State University-turned-pro-baller, is in Trump's crosshairs for being one of 10 House Republicans to favor his impeachment and also joining with nearly three-dozen of his GOP colleagues to vote in favor of an independent commission to investigate Jan. 6 attack. In May, the Ohio Republican Party voted to censure him and called on him to resign for his impeachment vote.
Now Trump will be using his first rally to support one of Gonzalez's primary opponents, Max Miller, a former Trump administration official and campaign aide. Trump had previously endorsed Miller in a February statement calling him "a Marine veteran, a son of Ohio, and a true PATRIOT."
Trump is expected to hold another rally in Tampa, Florida, on the eve of July 4, with upcoming rallies in Alabama and Georgia yet to be decided.

Whoever it is, I reckon it will end up costing the taxpayers more than anyone.
