Trump’s remark about congressman being in hell was ‘just riffing’
White House says Trump was venting frustration after being impeached by the House when he joked about John Dingell
The White House said Donald Trump was “just riffing” when he took a swipe at the late congressman John Dingell during a raucous impeachment day rally, when the president suggested the popular politician may have gone to hell.
The remarks drew a quick rebuke from the longtime Michigan congressman’s widow and successor in the House, Debbie Dingell.
