Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego for Arizona’s 7th CD attacked President Donald Trump Saturday night on Twitter using language that appears be a dog whistle for Trump’s assassination. Gallego wrote Trump is a “psychopath” and that “America will regret the day you were ever born.”
In about 24 hours, Gallego’s tweet received over 121,000 likes, over 30,000 retweets and over 4,000 replies.
Gallego was responding to Trump’s tweet castigating the FBI for allowing the Parkland school shooter to slip by investigators while the bureau was pursuing the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

Trump posted at 11:08 p.m. EST on Saturday, “Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!”

Gallego replied just four minutes later, at 11:12 p.m., indicating that he was emotionally triggered and posted his gut reaction, “You are such a psychopath that you have to make even the death of 17 children about you. America will regret the day you were ever born.”

Gallego’s Twitter bio for the personal account he posted from reads, “Iraq War Veteran. USMC 0311/0341. Member of Congress for Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. Proud Democrat. Hispanic, Latino”
The Secret Service would be wise to keep Gallego away from President Trump. With that much quick tempered hatred, he might take it upon himself to make it seem as if Trump was never born.
