Donald Trump suggests Rep. Debbie Dingell’s late husband John is in HELL in impeachment-eve speech

Donald Trump suggests Democrat Debbie Dingell’s late husband John is in HELL as he impersonates her thanking him for honoring the veteran House member when he died and calls her a hypocrite for voting to impeach

  • Trump went after the widow of the late Rep. John Dingell for the second time Wednesday
  • Dingell served in the House for 59 years, succeeding his father
  • Dingell’s widow, Debbie, now holds his Michigan congressional seat 
  • Trump complained that he authorized full honors for Dingell’s funeral his widow still voted for two impeachment articles against him
  • Trump quipped at a campaign rally in Michigan: ‘Maybe he’s looking up, I don’t know, but let’s assume he’s looking down’ 
  • ‘You brought me down in a way you can never imagine and your hurtful words just made my healing much harder’

The widow of the late Rep. John Dingell told President Trump he ‘brought me down in a way you can never imagine’ after he mocked her during a campaign rally and implied that her late husband was in hell. 

Rep. Debbie Dingell, who succeeded her husband – who was the longest serving member of Congress – responded to the president after he affected her voice and impersonated her during a campaign rally.

Trump fumed about how Dingell voted to impeach him even though he authorized funeral proceedings for Dingell, whose body lay in state at the Capitol. Trump also allowed flags to fly at half staff at federal buildings to honor John Dingell, who was a leading voice on environmental and health care issues for generations. 

President Donald Trump mocked Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan during his impeachment night speech, saying he gave full military honors to her late husband

‘Mr. President, let’s set politics aside. 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,’ wrote Debbie Dingell, a former lobbyist who succeeded him in office. 

Trump went after Dingell at a campaign rally that got going just as Democrats voted to impeach him, settling scores on a variety of fronts, including the Dingell funeral.

He told his crowd of supporters in Battle Creek, Michigan – in Dingell’s home state: ‘She calls me up, ‘That’s the nicest thing that ever happened. Thank you so much. John would be so thrilled. He’s looking down. He’d be so thrilled,’ Trump said, impersonating Debbie Dingell while he spoke. ‘Thank you so much, sir,’ he described her as saying.  

‘That’s okay don’t worry about it,’ Trump described himself as responding magnanimously.

‘Maybe he’s looking up, I don’t know, but let’s assume he’s looking down,’ Trump quipped, joking that perhaps Dingell was in hell. Dingell died in February.

By going after Dingell, Trump was revisiting a grievance. He tweeted four days ago: ‘The last time I spoke to Debbie Dingell was her call thanking me for granting top memorial and funeral service honors for her then just departed husband, long-time Congressman John Dingell. Now I watch her ripping me as part of the Democrats Impeachment Hoax. Really pathetic!’
