Pa. Lawmaker to Trump: "Why don't you come after me you fascist, loofa-faced s***-gibbon"

Pennsylvania lawmaker to President Trump: "Why don't you come after me you fascist, loofa-faced s***-gibbon" http://cnn.it/2k8lCNt

____Pennsylvania state Sen. Daylin Leach's outburst was inspired by a Politico article about a meeting Trump recently had with sheriffs from around the nation and a conversation during that meeting about asset forfeiture. That's a legal practice in which a law enforcement agency seizes money and property that may have been obtained through criminal activities.

"Who is the state senator? Do you want to give his name? We'll destroy his career," Trump replied, according to Politico.

He has previously co-sponsored bills that attempted to reform asset forfeiture laws in Pennsylvania, his spokesman, Steve Hoenstine, said Thursday in an email.

After the Politico article ran, Leach posted on Facebook: "Hey! I oppose civil asset forfeiture too. Why don't you come after me you fascist, loofa-faced s***-gibbon!!"

A little later, Leach took to Twitter, Trump's preferred platform, saying: "Hey @realDonaldTrump I oppose civil asset forfeiture too! Why don't you try to destroy my career you fascist, loofa-faced, s***-gibbon!"

Still later, Leach wrote on Facebook: "S***-Gibbon" goes viral! Maybe someday it will be written on my tombstone....or his."
