\u201cYou have the [Democrats] \u2013 even on positive news\u2026they were like death. And un-American. Somebody said \u2018treasonous.\u2019 I mean, yeah, I guess. Why not? Can we call<\/a> that treason? Why not?\u201d<\/p>\n Trump likens the reaction of Democrats during State of the Union to “treason,” says it’s “un-American.” (via ABC) pic.twitter.com\/cdOhzVVAel<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) February 5, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n No. Treason is colluding with Russians to win an election.<\/p>\n Earlier, in the spit take tweet of the day, Trump followed up his attacks on Congressman Adam Schiff by piling praise on \u201cGreat American Hero\u201d Rep. Devin Nunes (above, right), who prepared the GOP memo which Trump wrongly declared \u201ctotally vindicates\u201d him in the Russia investigation.<\/p>\n Tweeted Trump: \u201cRepresentative Devin Nunes, a man<\/a> of tremendous courage and grit, may someday be recognized as a Great American Hero for what he has exposed and what he has had to endure!\u201d<\/p>\n Representative Devin Nunes, a man<\/a> of tremendous courage and grit, may someday be recognized as a Great American Hero for what he has exposed and what he has had to endure!<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J.
