President Donald Trump targeted Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and her late husband John, a longtime congressman and WWII veteran, after she voted for impeachment.
Trump talked about an emotional call from Dingell to say thank you after he gave her husband what he described as"A plus" treatment upon his death,"She calls me up. 'It's the nicest thing that's ever happened. Thank you so much. John would be so thrilled. He's looking down, he'd be so thrilled. Thank you so much sir.' I said that's OK, don't worry about it," Trump said, relaying the call.
"Mr. President, shame on you. Going after Rep. John Dingell, a WWII vet and devoted public servant who spent his life fighting for Michiganders, demeans you and your office." Rep. Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican, tweeted that he"always looked up to John Dingell - my good friend and a great Michigan legend. There was no need to 'dis' him in a crass political way. Most unfortunate and an apology is due."
Michigan State Senator Curtis Hertel, a Democrat, called the president's comments"below human decency."
