An old tweet has come back to haunt Donald Trump Jr, son of the outgoing US president, Donald Trump.
In 2016, Trump Jr. posted a tweet mocking Bill and Hillary Clinton, as Bill was impeached by the House of Representatives during his time in office.
The tweet from Trump Jr. reads: “Dear Clintons, You know what’s deplorable? Being Impeached!!!!”
That tweet was posted before Donald Trump Sr. and Hillary Clinton went head-to-head in the 2016 election. It was a reference to Clinton calling Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables.”
Bill Clinton became the second U.S. president to be impeached in 1998 on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. He was censured by the Senate.
