Rep. Ted Lieu thought his snarky comment about Ivanka Trump blocking him on Twitter would somehow look good for him.
The California Democrat soon found he was very wrong.
Lieu was responding to a tweet Thursday about a report that Special Counsel Robert Mueller may be looking at President Donald Trump’s children, notably Ivanka, in connection with the Trump Tower Moscow deal that never materialized.

“Let me ask White House Senior Advisor @IvankaTrump about Trump Tower Moscow,” the frequent Trump critic tweeted. He then made an attempt at sarcasm, accusing the president’s daughter of blocking him because his “questions bother her.”
Let me ask White House Senior Advisor @IvankaTrump about Trump Tower Moscow.
Oh wait, she blocked me, a Member of Congress, because my questions bother her.
Let me correct that. She blocked me, a Member of Congress who will be in the majority, because my questions bother her. https://t.co/9xFiHzPhsX

Twitter users were happy to point out that Lieu’s attacks on the president were probably not much appreciated by his daughter.
Sometimes I agree with her dad and I’ve said so in Twitter. Also I spend waking moments watching the Cleveland Browns too. They are a team to watch this year.

His pompous tone, and reference to himself as an oh-so-important member of Congress came back to bite Lieu in a big way as Twitter users unloaded on the Democrat.

Some were brutally honest.
She probably blocked you because you’re an asshole.

You’re a member of Congress who spends more time virtue signaling tweeting Trump hate than you do communicating with constituents, solving the homeless crisis or improving our communities. Please spend more time doing those things. You can disagree w/ Trump but get things done.

No it’s because you’re a jackass.

Most people don’t like your questions because the majority of the time you are either uninformed or you are simply pushing an agenda and seeking attention. You state you are a Member of Congress like that makes you better than everyone else and deserving of some special privilege

You are special.

The reason is more likely to be that you are a vile, despicable, liar.

Hahahaha! A member of Congress has no other way of contacting a WH advisor than Twitter. What is the world coming to?

Couldn’t he call her? Or email?

Talking like that and bragging he’s a member of Congress?! Just wow..no class!
