Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY), a member of the Trump transition team, on Monday accused Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) of acting like a spoiled child after the civil rights icon suggested that Russias interference in the U.S. election undermined the legitimacy of Donald Trumps presidency.

During a Martin Luther King Jr. Day discussion on Fox Business, network contributor Dagen McDowell took issue with Trumps Twitter tirade which accused Lewis of not taking enough action to help his constituents.

Thats is who Donald Trump is, she acknowledged. But at some point, at times, I do wish he wouldnt punch down.

My opinion is, what John Lewis is doing, hes pouting, Collins opined. He lost. Its like a spoiled child and weve seen it with the others. They cant get over the fact that they lost. And what do spoiled little kids do. You know, they run around and throw a tantrum.

1. Another case of projection.

Trump is the biggest spoiled child ever.

[Lindsay]

5. Exactly.

Typical right wing "I know you are but what am I?" schoolyard insult.

2. Child like "boy"?

4. Caught that little stab

good for you!
Welcome to DU

7. Thanks!

3. What kind of moron would characterize anything Trump

could ever say to John Lewis as "punching down"? Who the fuck is Dagen McDowell, other than a racist asshole in her own right?

6. Collins needs to read this

8. You would think that Obama birtherism was a figment of everyone's imagination.

This is a case where the outcome truly is in question. It seems we have more traitors in our government than we ever realized.

9. You see, genuine adult human beings don't think with the mindset of

Ignorant, childish, neener neener-spewing troglodytes that litter the incoming administration.

Maturity is something totally foreign to them.
But spoiled punk behavior is quite familiar.

10. "Neener neener-spewing troglodytes."

Superb imagery!

I will be borrowig this.

[Guilded Lilly]

18. Please do :)

11. Like my mother says, it's not about losing it's about who we lost to and what he and his cronies

represent for this country.

[raccoon]

23. Your mother is wise. This is a keeper. nt

[Blue Idaho]

12. Keep Talking...

The more they talk the deeper the public perception hole they dig. At this rate Trump's approval rating could eclipse the congressional Low of 19%.

[Retrograde]

13. "cant get over the fact that they lost...they run around and throw a tantrum."

Like the way a certain Republican party has been behaving since November, 2008?

[Marthe48]

14. It is somewhat fun to call these bastards

every name I can think of. This guy, for instance is a pig s.o.b. who can't even see he helped his cheater friends usurp power, so what? so they can call people names? grab genitals? piss on each other? What a bunch of perverted perverts.

[tclambert]

15. The first image that comes to mind when I hear "spoiled child" . . .

Okay, I'll give you a hint: It has eleven letters, starts with Donal_ and ends with _rump.

16. Collins apparently enjoyed insulting the grieving Khan parents,piling on after Trump attacked them

20. No wonder he's on the transition team.. what a creepy

asshole.

[Skittles]

17. that is classic racism

he may as well call him BOY

[Cha]

19. chris collins is steaming pile of lying shit.. and too stupid to call trump out

[Judi Lynn]

21. Clearly this clown has no idea who John Lewis is. He's not qualified to speak.

[center]

Not a trace of discipline, or character anywhre on this pathetic, deteriorated face.
He looks as if he has always been in the midst of nasty little screeching tantrums.

[raccoon]

22. This Chris Collins sounds like he has the maturity of a toddler.

I guess he thinks kissing Trump's behind is the thing to do.
