A Democratic Congressman has blasted President Trump's response to the recent mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida school, labeling him a "psychopath."
Arizona Representative Ruben Gallego tweeted to the president Saturday night, "You are such a psychopath that you have to make even the death of 17 children about you. America will regret the day you were ever born."
His message was a direct response to Trump's tweet on Saturday.
"Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!" Trump tweeted.
While some have viewed Trump's comment as a way to deflect from an outcry for tougher gun restrictions, the FBI has admitted to failing to investigate the alleged shooter, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, despite receiving concerning tips about him.
The teen is said to have exhibited violent behavior in the past and expressed a desire to kill people.
According to the New York Times, Cruz has since confessed to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School which resulted in 17 deaths.
