'It's somewhat enjoyable': Rep. Chris Collins says it's fun to call John Lewis 'a spoiled child'

Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY), a member of the Trump transition team, on Monday accused Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) of acting like a spoiled child after the civil rights icon suggested that Russias interference in the U.S. election undermined the legitimacy of Donald Trumps presidency.

During a Martin Luther King Jr. Day discussion on Fox Business, network contributor Dagen McDowell took issue with Trumps Twitter tirade which accused Lewis of not taking enough action to help his constituents.

Thats is who Donald Trump is, she acknowledged. But at some point, at times, I do wish he wouldnt punch down.

My opinion is, what John Lewis is doing, hes pouting, Collins opined. He lost. Its like a spoiled child and weve seen it with the others. They cant get over the fact that they lost. And what do spoiled little kids do. You know, they run around and throw a tantrum.

could ever say to John Lewis as "punching down"? Who the fuck is Dagen McDowell, other than a racist asshole in her own right?

This is a case where the outcome truly is in question. It seems we have more traitors in our government than we ever realized.

Ignorant, childish, neener neener-spewing troglodytes that litter the incoming administration.

Maturity is something totally foreign to them.
But spoiled punk behavior is quite familiar.

The more they talk the deeper the public perception hole they dig. At this rate Trump's approval rating could eclipse the congressional Low of 19%.

every name I can think of. This guy, for instance is a pig s.o.b. who can't even see he helped his cheater friends usurp power, so what? so they can call people names? grab genitals? piss on each other? What a bunch of perverted perverts.

Not a trace of discipline, or character anywhre on this pathetic, deteriorated face.
He looks as if he has always been in the midst of nasty little screeching tantrums.

I guess he thinks kissing Trump's behind is the thing to do.
