PA State Senator Calls Trump a “Fascist, Loofa-Faced, Sh*t-Gibbon”

HeadlineFeb 09, 2017

And a Pennsylvania state senator has issued an unusually strong denouncement of President Trump, calling him a “fascist, loofa-faced, ***-gibbon!” Senator Daylin Leach’s tweet was a response to Trump’s threat that he would “destroy the career” of a Texas state senator who was proposing legislation to require police to obtain a conviction before seizing one’s property in a process known as asset forfeiture. Currently asset forfeiture allows police to seize people’s property even if they are never even charged with a crime. After Trump’s threat, Daylin tweeted, “Hey @realDonaldTrump I oppose civil asset forfeiture too! Why don’t you try to destroy my career you fascist, loofa-faced, ***-gibbon!”
