Perez: "Ellison and I got a good kick out of Trump, up in the morning tweeting about us"

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

On CNN's State of the Union show Sunday morning, Perez responded to Trump's jabs.

"Congressman Ellison and I got a good kick out of that," he said. "Donald Trump, up in the morning tweeting about us. You know, our unity as a party is our greatest strength and it’s his worst nightmare," he continued.

"What we need to be looking at is whether this election was rigged by Donald Trump and his buddy, Vladimir Putin. And I'll tell you having Jeff Sessions oversee such an investigation — it's really unfair to any foxes across America to say that would be the fox guarding the henhouse," Perez told CNN host Jake Tapper.

"He hasn't proposed anything but chaos and carnage from day one," Perez said on NBC's "Meet The Press."

"We've seen no evidence of anything constructive from this president."

Hours after he was sworn in as president, Trump "made it harder for first-time home buyers to buy a home," Perez said.

"A few days later, he tried to make it harder for people to save for retirement," he added.

"Look at the ill-advised and frankly racist executive action against Muslims," he added...

He seems to tweet at all hours. No wonder the bags under his eyes are so big. Looks like he has them packed for yet another trip to Mar-A-Lago. He should resign, and go golfing permanently.

Tom And Kieth are going to be good for the party, butt hurt progressives hell bent on refighting the primary need to get over this infighting. Give Tom a few months, he's one of the most intelligent lawmakers we have, has much of the same political insight Obama did. He's not perfect of course but I will take him as our DNC chair any day. His response just shows how to take on tRump.

Todd kept trying to bait him with the same old canards about Dems, but Perez batted them down and was clear about what Dems stand for like good wages, healthcare, social security, etc.
