Trump Reacts to Lawsuit from ‘Obstructionist Democrats,’ Calls Debbie Wasserman Schultz ‘Wendy’

President Trump weighed in on Twitter tonight to the lawsuit being filed by the DNC against his campaign, Wikileaks, and the Russian government.

“Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats,” the President said. “This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Wendy Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails.”
He’s clearly referring in the tweet to former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, but the use of “Wendy” instead stood out to some people:
"Is Wendy Wasserman Schultz" some kind of nickname joke I'm not getting or…just a mistake? https://t.co/IjdVTXG0o4

is there anything more 80s New York than confusing Wendy Wasserstein with Debbie Wasserman Schultz https://t.co/7MAZO0FEiU

UPDATE –– 7:25 pm ET: The tweet has been taken down and corrected with “Debbie”:
