Dem Rep. Trolls Trump Over Release of JFK Files: Will Ted Cruzs Father Be Exposed?

Remember that time Donald Trump parroted a half-baked, tabloid conspiracy theory claiming Ted Cruz‘s dad was somehow involved in the John F. Kennedy‘s assassination?

Well, Congressman Adam Schiff ‘members.

After the president announced today that he would be making classified documents on the JFK murder publicly available, Schiff — a Democrat lawmaker from California — trolled the president over Twitter by asking if Cruz’s “father will be exposed” in the document

... Trump to bar the release, after stating that he'd personally read all of the material and now knows who really killed JFK. When asked for details from the press, he'd say, "Maybe I'll tell you, and maybe I won't - we'll see. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks."

Using "Democrat" as an adjective is straight out of N*wt Gingrich's playbook and beneath the dignity of a DU'er.

I read the article before I posted it and calling the congressman a democrat didn't sound too disrespectful, I don't like people using democrat party instead of democratic party but democrat congressman didn't seem to awful, but If I tried to change every word in an article that someone might not like, it would take forever, you can call me democrat, I don't pay much attention to what newt the toot calls us anyway.

He apparently worked with Cuban exile extremist Carlos Bringuier in attempting to frame Castro for the assassination. A very minor role indeed.

That said, he should have nevertheless been brought to testify. But then you'd need a real, good-faith investigation for that - not the Warren Omission.
