Lieu Keeps Coming for Trump Where It Hurts: Twitter

If you’re not following Congressman Ted Lieu (D-CA) on Twitter, perhaps you will after this Yahoo News profile of the congressman and his social media account. Calling him the @nti-Trump, the piece highlights Lieu’s e-crusade to respond to the president’s tweets with his own brand of wit, straight shooting, and facts. Careful to distinguish between his staff-run professional account (@reptedlieu) and his personal account (@tedlieu), Lieu says that he uses his personal account to offer his “thoughts and views on what’s happening right now in America — and every now and then, Game of Thrones.” The congressman muses, “I never in my dreams thought I would ever call the president of the United States ‘dumb as a rock’ (a phrase he has now used 13 times) ... Ultimately I would rather not be doing this. I do not want to be in this position where I am resisting and ridiculing the president of the United States. I want to be able to be proud of our president.” Yahoo News has some of his choice tweets and more on the congressman’s motivations here.
