Democrats have called President Donald Trump a lot of things—a liar, a con artist, not a legitimate President—and one congressional Democrat added one more insult to the arsenal by calling Trump “truly an evil man.”
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) barbed the insult via Twitter Saturday in the wake of Trump’s tweet about how Obamacare will soon “explode.”
“President” @realDonaldTrump: You truly are an evil man. Your job is to help Americans. Not intentionally try to destroy their lives. https://t.co/2M94E1g39b

Mr. “President”: Art II of Constitution requires you to faithfully execute laws passed by Congress. Subverting #Obamacare violates your Oath https://t.co/2M94E1g39b

The exchange comes just one day after House Republicans pulled their health care bill, failing to repeal and replace Obamacare. Trump blamed the Democrats for the failure in a press conference shortly after.

It will only “explode” if the Republican’s supply the dynamite, by choking off funding, or making other stupid moves.
Hey GOP, how about acting like grown-ups and fix ACA, rather than being petulant brats? It’s getting really old…
And your voter’s are NOT happy with you…

I read that then I realized Dr.Josef Mengele, er Dr Tom Price, is the secretary of HHS so it can be expected Trump and his henchmen will do all they can to hurt people to the point they are begging for the Price horror of a healthcare plan.
I wish all Democrats had this Representatives spirit, not many do. I want more of this.
The definition of evil is profound immorality, wickedness, and depravity. I have to say, I think the shoe fits.
And using the word “explode” when 200 civilians just died in Iraq as a result of one of our bombs is exceedingly insensitive. I mean, you can use the word implode or fail or go belly up, but no, he has to say explode…with all its connotations.
I wonder if we will hear from more of them now that there is blood in the water.
