Democratic political strategist Bakari Sellers couldn't help drop a little shade on President Donald Trump's Monday morning Twitterstorm.


The president claimed that Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) should one day be considered a hero for his memo attacking the FBI and Department of Justice.

"I think this is why a lot of people have confidence in the Russia probe and [special counsel Bob] Mueller are going to go unimpeded by the White House and anyone else, because this whole offensive is led by Devin Nunes," Sellers said. "What we say in South Carolina is 'bless his heart.' It appears he's in over his head."

Sellers said that the memo was "much ado about nothing" and "the leadership he's displayed is less than that." He went on to question the fortitude and intellectual capacity for Nunes to upend the investigation with anything substantial.

"Look, if Donald Trump and Devin Nunes want to die on the proverbial hill that is Carter Page, then so be it," Sellers continued. "That just doesn't sound like sound political strategy or sound legal strategy at all."
