Trump Appears to Suggest Rep. Debbie Dingell’s Late Husband Is in Hell After She Votes for Impeachment

“I gave them everything,” he said of Rep. Debbie Dingell and her late husband.

President Trump suggested that the husband of Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI)—the late former lawmaker John Dingell—was in hell after she voted in favor of impeaching him. “Debbie Dingell, that’s a real beauty,” Trump said at a rally in Michigan on Wednesday night, claiming that he gave the “A-plus treatment” when John Dingell passed away earlier this year. “I gave them everything. That’s OK. I don’t want anything from it, I don’t need anything for anything,” he said, before recalling that Rep. Dingell had called him to express her gratitude. “‘John would be so thrilled. He’s looking down, he’d be so thrilled,’” Trump claimed Debbie Dingell said, before quipping: “Maybe he’s looking up, I don’t know,” to audible groans from the crowd. Rep. Dingell responded to Trump’s comments in a tweet Wednesday night. “Mr. President, let’s set politics aside,” she said. “My husband earned all his accolades after a lifetime of service. I’m preparing for the first holiday season without the man I love. You brought me down in a way you can never imagine and your hurtful words just made my healing much harder.” The House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress during his rally.
