Trump unleashes Twitter attack against congressional critic

NEW YORK — Donald Trump is lashing out at a Georgia congressman who described the Republican as an illegitimate president.

Trump tweeted on Saturday that Democrat John Lewis "should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results."

Trump — who'll be sworn in this coming Friday — continues to use Twitter to attack his adversaries as he did throughout the campaign.

Lewis says he'll skip Trump's inauguration. The longtime civil rights leader says it'd be the first one he'll miss since coming to Congress three decades ago.

Lewis told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he doesn't consider Trump a "legitimate president" and blames the Russians for helping him win.

You slap Trump, he slaps back. Fair and square.

With the back of his hand...

Those who are hell bent of creating problems for Trump cannot and will not allow themselves to believe that someone who was NOT/IS NOT (at least yet) a politician who beat them at their own game. The crooked bastards are scared to death that their dishonest deeds have caught up with them and could easily be “numbered”, as they should be. I can't wait to see the swamp drained.

Lewis and others like him should be made to understand that they are not above reproach.

I love it, Trump doesn’t take any crap from these punks.


And so do many of us. Congress, media, he’s not afraid to call them out...

Now just neuter Johnny M, Lindsey G, and little Marco, and we can all rest in peace....

Also, bring Hilly to justice even if its just disbanding their foundation, forcing them to return donations, due to being an unethical organization...

That will be as rewarding as jailing them, which will never happen.

I think this is going to be a delicious tactic used by Trump
Double down on ways to make life better in these miserable pockets of pus districts created by dysfuntional black cronyism and neglect

I for one am getting immense joy at watching Trump slap these *astards back to their heels

They're so unwise. The cities and districts that step up to the plate are going to get a lot of help dealing with law and order and other issues inner cities face.

He always looks like he’s sucking on lemons.

Isn’t he also the guy who said Tea Partiers were spitting and cursing at him? Fake news personified!

Every time Trump answers a critic, they describe him as “lashing out.” No matter how even his tone, or just or measured his response. It’s always “lashing out.”

“....bring Hilly to justice even if its just disbanding their foundation, forcing them to return donations”........

If those who made donations to the Clinton’s to purchase themselves favors, I would NOT be surprised if Trump issues an EO to confiscate all Clinton Foundation funds and puts the funds into government coffers. Go Trump!

Any idiot can march to another’s drumbeat, however righteous or principled, but it shouldn’t imply that they be issued a license to be full of shit as elected officials before the American people.
