Rep Ted Lieu spends much of his time as a Twitter troll.
That seems like a dubious thing to be paid a very nice Congressional salary for at a time when so many Americans are still struggling to make ends meet, but unfortunately for democracy, Lieu is based out of California and in a district where he can't be voted out of office. So he's free to showboat for attention and try to catch the eye of one of the big leftist donors who might advance his career.
And, like most Twitter trolls, Lieu eventually got blocked.
Hey look, a senior White House official is afraid of tweets from a Congressman. Ivanka blocked me. Also, why is she in the White House? pic.twitter.com/hTaagBF7MM

This is what the Cali Dem delegation looks like.
We've got Rep. Lieu trolling the daughter of the President of the United States on Twitter. And then complaining that she blocked him. This is what our politics looks like now.
