Steyer Fights Back After Trump Called Him 'Totally Unhinged'

Tom Steyer, a Democratic mega-donor, returned fire on Friday at President Donald Trump after the president called Steyer "totally unhinged."

Steyer funded an ad campaign at NeedtoImpeach.com, calling for Trump to be impeached, saying that a Republican Congress impeached Bill Clinton for less serious behavior than Trump has exhibited.

The donor posted a series of tweets on Friday, including one in which he said he was fighting against Trump's "racism and corporate groveling."

You're right about one thing, Mr. Trump. https://t.co/REe9Mtb1WQ

I have been fighting your racism and corporate groveling from the beginning—and always will.

"Americans deserve much better" than Trump as president, Steyer wrote in another tweet.

Americans deserve much better.

He then called on Democratic leaders to "take a stand."

Americans across the board know you're a danger to the people of this country. @NancyPelosi @SenSchumer it's time to take a stand.
