Unbelievable. The man is a U.S. Representative.

60. What a disrespectful asshole.

On floor of house waitin on "Kommandant-In-Chef"... the Socialistic dictator who's been feeding US a line or is it "A-Lying?"

— Randy Weber (@TXRandy14) January 29, 2014
A spokesperson for Weber's office later confirmed that "it is our tweet."

It was a classic troll move and perhaps a rather obvious cry for attention. As the National Journal reported last year, Weber, the Texan who replaced retiring GOP Rep. Ron Paul in 2012, fancies himself the next "Republican troublemaker, if only someone would pay attention."
