President Donald Trump went on the attack Saturday morning with eyes on a fresh target: Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who he labeled a “Dumocrat” and a “lying sleazebag,” but was soon hit back with a scathing rebuke from the California Democrat.Posted on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump’s attack on Khanna included an image that appeared to have been created with generative artificial intelligence that depicts the California Democrat with vampire-like fangs, wearing horns and a sheep skin, while also clutching dollar bills.The image was condemned as “absolutely demented” by independent journalist Aaron Rupar and as “offensive” by left-wing activist and media personality Cenk Uygur.
