“The Democrat attacks on the President fall into one of three categories: 1. Hearsay 2. Conjecture 3. Substantive policy disagreement If we continue this, reflexive impeachment will be the new normal and it will be a terrible thing for our county. #ArticlesOfImpeachment,” read another tweet from Gaetz that the president retweeted.

Trump has long railed against the House’s impeachment investigation, dubbing it a “witch hunt” and maintaining his interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were “perfect.”

The tweets and retweets come as the House Judiciary Committee holds a public discussion on two articles of impeachment of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The committee was expected to hold final votes on the articles later on Thursday.

The president also turned his ire toward the media, which he accused of being biased against him.

“It’s great to have a wonderful subject, President Trump,” tweeted Trump. “Fake News like CNN & MSNBC are dying. If they treated me fairly, they would do well. Have Zero credibility!”
