President Trump had some choice words for Democrats on Saturday morning.
In the wake of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) officially announcing that the House would open an impeachment inquiry spurred by Trump's phone call in July with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump sent an angry tweet directed at numerous Democrats including House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), referring to them as "Do Nothing Democrat Savages." He did not call out Pelosi by name.
Trump followed that up with a series of short, caps-locked, and somewhat contradictaory tweets that simply read "PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!," "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!," and "KEEP AMERICA GREAT!"
