‘The Straightjacket Should Be On’: Dem Rep. Mocks Trump Over Meltdown

A Democratic congressman mocked Donald Trump‘s anti-GOP meltdown and threats against the Clintons by saying, “Donald Trump said that the shackles are off, but it’s sounding more like people believe the straightjacket should be on.”

That line from Steve Israel is referencing this tweet:

It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2016

Israel said Trump can’t actually expand his electorate with a slew of “vicious personal attacks.”

He called Trump an “insulter in chief.”
