President Donald Trump retweeted dozens of messages on Thursday morning, hours after the House voted to impeach him, making him the third president in US history to be impeached.
Beginning in the early morning, the president retweeted dozens of messages defending himself from the constitutional process he's long disparaged. And he argued that the lack of Republican support for impeachment is evidence of an unfair, partisan process, which he described as "the greatest Witch Hunt in American history."
"100% Republican Vote. That's what people are talking about," he wrote on Thursday morning. "The Republicans are united like never before!"
The president also attacked Democratic freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib, retweeting a video she posted showing her appearing enthusiastic about voting to impeach him.
Trump alternately poked fun at and slammed his impeachment during a rally in Michigan Wednesday night.
"I just said to the first lady, you're so lucky I took you on this fantastic journey - it's so much fun, they want to impeach you, they want to do worse than that," he said. "And by the way, it doesn't really feel like we're being impeached."
At the same rally, he also strongly implied that a beloved Michigan congressman was "looking up" from hell after his wife voted in favor of impeachment.
