A Democratic lawmaker tore into President Trump on Wednesday for his decision to revoke former CIA Director John Brennans security clearance.
In a tweet that came minutes after the White House announced the move, Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) accused Trump of punishing Brennan for his harsh criticism of the president and said Trump is acting like a dictator.
A flimsy excuse to set a terrible precedent, Beyer tweeted. Trump is clearly punishing John Brennan for criticizing him, cracking down on a dissent and retaliating against a private citizens free speech.
The President has adopted the weak, paranoid, authoritarian behavior of a dictator, he added.

It makes us Democrats more determined for the mid-terms and beyond.
