President Donald Trump on Wednesday attacked Rep. Beto O'Rourke as a "Flake!" just hours after O'Rourke hurled Trump's "Lyin' Ted" insult at Sen. Ted Cruz during a prime-time debate in San Antonio.
Trump on Twitter said he watched the second debate between Cruz (R-Texas) and O'Rourke (D-Texas), adding that he doesn't think the congressman is in the "same league" as the senator.
"Ted is strong on Crime, Border & 2nd A, loves our Military, Vets, Low Taxes. Beto is a Flake!" the president wrote.
Trump in a second tweet continued praising Cruz, claiming he has supported "massive cuts in taxes and regulations" that brought the best jobs numbers in the history of Texas, and that the senator will protect Second Amendment rights.
"O’Rourke would blow it all! Ted has long had my Strong Endorsement!" Trump tweeted.
