On CNN's State of the Union show Sunday morning, Perez responded to Trump's jabs.
"Congressman Ellison and I got a good kick out of that," he said. "Donald Trump, up in the morning tweeting about us. You know, our unity as a party is our greatest strength and its his worst nightmare," he continued.
"What we need to be looking at is whether this election was rigged by Donald Trump and his buddy, Vladimir Putin. And I'll tell you having Jeff Sessions oversee such an investigation it's really unfair to any foxes across America to say that would be the fox guarding the henhouse," Perez told CNN host Jake Tapper.

"He hasn't proposed anything but chaos and carnage from day one," Perez said on NBC's "Meet The Press."
"We've seen no evidence of anything constructive from this president."

(145 posts)Tom And Kieth are going to be good for the party, butt hurt progressives hell bent on refighting the primary need to get over this infighting. Give Tom a few months, he's one of the most intelligent lawmakers we have, has much of the same political insight Obama did. He's not perfect of course but I will take him as our DNC chair any day. His response just shows how to take on tRump.
