Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Michigan), who was elected to Congress after the retirement of her husband, former Rep. John Dingell (D-Michigan), has firsthand experience with what she refers to as "bullying" from former President Donald Trump.

"Our Country is a NO LONGER RESPECTED MESS, A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING, CRIME RIDDEN COUNTRY."...
