Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., sparked an online frenzy after launching an expletive-filled, late-night rant against President Donald Trump in protest of his plans to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“So f—ing f—ed up. I\u2019ll pray they f— him to his face,” Lee wrote shortly before 1 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday. <\/p>\n

“Sorry, I say f— a lot these days,” Lee, 59, added.<\/p>\n

Lee, a four-term House lawmaker, made the crude remarks in response to a story from The Associated Press reporting that Trump planned to visit the court to listen to Wednesday\u2019s case about his birthright citizenship order.<\/p>\n

Democrats have widely opposed Trump\u2019s effort to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States whose parents are illegal immigrants or those taking advantage of the birth tourism industry.<\/p>\n

“Either Democrat Rep. Susie Lee was blackout drunk when she tweeted this or it was a staffer posting from her account,” conservative commentator Steve Guest wrote in response.<\/p>\n

“Mentally deranged psycho!” conservative personality Eric Daugherty said on social media.<\/p>\n

Amid the backlash, Lee deleted the tweet on Wednesday morning with little explanation.<\/p>\n

When asked for comment, a spokesperson for Lee referred Fox News Digital to a statement posted on Lee\u2019s personal social media account.<\/p>\n

“Clearly my language touched a nerve \u2014 my nerve was touched by the attacks on our Constitution and its separation of powers,” Lee wrote. “I took an oath to protect and defend it.”<\/p>\n

Lee\u2019s social media outburst comes as the Nevada Democrat has sought to brand herself as a bipartisan lawmaker. Trump notably won Lee\u2019s suburban Las Vegas district by less than one point in 2024 and national Republicans view the battleground seat as a top flip opportunity. <\/p>\n

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), House Republicans\u2019 campaign arm, slammed Lee’s expletive-filled post aimed at the president.<\/p>\n

“Democrat Susie Lee has become Nevada\u2019s fool, more focused on vulgar outbursts than doing the job she was elected to do,” NRCC spokesman Christian Martinez said in a statement. “Hitting delete doesn\u2019t clean up her mess, it just proves she knows how embarrassing it is.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has argued that the purpose of the 14th Amendment was to grant citizenship to American slaves and their children, not the descendants of illegal immigrants or those living in the United States temporarily.<\/p>\n

“I have listened to this argument for so long, and this is not about Chinese billionaires, or billionaires from other countries who all of a sudden have 75 children or 59 children in one case, or 10 children becoming American citizens. This was about slaves,” Trump told Fox News’ Peter Doocy in the Oval Office on Tuesday regarding the case.<\/p>\n

“It had to do with the babies of slaves,” the president continued. “It didn’t have to do with the protection of multimillionaires and billionaires wanting to have their children get American citizenship. It is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s been so badly handled by legal people over the years.”<\/p>\n
