After President Donald Trump on Wednesday mocked moderate Republicans for losing their elections, retiring Rep. Ryan Costello (R-PA) shot back, tweeting that Trump’s rhetoric “angers me to my core.”
To deal w harassment & filth spewed at GOP MOC’s in tough seats every day for 2 yrs, bc of POTUS; to bite ur lip more times you’d care to; to disagree & separate from POTUS on principle & civility in ur campaign; to lose bc of POTUS & have him piss on u. Angers me to my core.

Costello decided to retire after his district was redrawn and now leans Democratic.
