CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – United States Rep. Marcia Fudge, a Democrat who serves Ohio’s 11th District, read a letter from a constituent to the House floor on Tuesday that had harsh words for President Donald Trump’s supporters.

“Many who support the president’s administration are either racists, steeped in religious beliefs, ignorant, or as my mother used to say, just plain dumb,” Fudge read from the letter.

The letter, written by Pastor Ronald S. Williams and read by Fudge, goes on to call the president “a gangster” and calls for his impeachment.

“They support a president who has a proven record of being sexually condescending to women, will not oppose the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan, is indecisive, condescending to anyone who challenges him, and hides behind his Twitter account rather than dealing with the real issues in our country and around the world,” Fudge read.

The congresswoman from Ohio exceeded her alotted time and was called “out of order” for the remarks on the floor about President Trump. She responded, calling the chairperson out of order.
