President Trump wasn't happy that Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) voted to impeach him, and he went low with his response.

As the House voted on Wednesday night, Trump was speaking to supporters at a rally in Battle Creek, Michigan. He asked the crowd if they knew Dingell, calling her a "real beauty," and then mentioned that after her husband, the late Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), died earlier this year, he offered to give the family "A+ treatment" when it came to the state funeral.
