Over the weekend, President Trump repeatedly
took to Twitter to attack the whistleblower,
as well as a range of officials and
journalists. He accused House Intelligence
Chair Schiff of committing treason; he
described Schiff and a group of other
Democratic lawmakers as “savages”; he
claimed impeachment is “unlawful”; and he
reposted a message from a supporter warning
impeachment could lead to a “Civil War like
fracture in this Nation.”
Republican Congressmember Adam Kinzinger of Illinois tweeted that Trump’s civil war retweet was “beyond repugnant.” Kinzinger wrote, “I have visited nations ravaged by civil war. @realDonaldTrump I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President.”
