Debbie Dingell's vote for his impeachment and implied her late husband might have gone to hell.on Wednesday as the vote on two articles of impeachment against him was proceeding in the House. The president indicated he thought Dingell's vote showed she was ungrateful for the"A-plus treatment" he offered to honor former Rep.
But Short indicated that "in light of where we were" on Wednesday night with the impeachment vote against him unfolding, Trump's remarks were understandable. Short said even though the late former congressman"had a lot of critical comments about the president" Trump still"took time to call Debbie Dingell to express his personal condolences at the passing."
