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

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 @real Donald Trump I oppose civil asset forfeiture
too! Why don't you try to destroy my career you fascist, loofa-faced,
***-gibbon!"
