Trump Calls Tlaib A 'Despicable Human Being'

President Trump slammed Rashida Tlaib on Sunday.

President Trump has called Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib "a despicable human being!" 
He made the comment on Twitter after his digital strategy director Dan Scavino shared a Hill report about the Michigan lawmaker saying that Democrats have discussed the possibility of jailing White House allies to force them to comply with Congressional subpoenas in the wake of the impeachment inquiry against Trump. 
Scavino called it a "coup!" 
However, Tlaib's comments in the report were more measured, saying that detaining a non-complying subpoenaed witness would be "uncharted territory."
That said, she admitted: "There have been actual serious conversations about what the logistics would look like... if we did have to force someone through a court order to come before the Congressional committee." 
Trump's recent tweet was not the first time he has attacked Tlaib. At a rally in July, he said of her, "She's vicious. She's like a crazed lunatic."
