Representative Tom Rice, a South Carolina Republican, said Donald Trump is "consumed by spite" after the former president attacked him during a Saturday rally at the Florence Regional Airport.
Rice was among the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for inciting his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Trump has repeatedly condemned the congressman and has endorsed his Republican primary challenger South Carolina state Representative Russell Fry.
During his rally, which drew thousands of supporters despite poor weather, the former president described Rice as a "total fool" and a "disaster," adding, that he is "respected by no one, he's laughed at in Washington, he was never thought highly of in Washington."
Shortly after Trump issued the attack, Rice put out his own statement in response:
"Trump is here because, like no one else I've ever met, he is consumed by spite," the Republican congressman said in the statement, which was reported by Florence's CBS-affiliate local WBTW News 13. "I took one vote he didn't like and now he's chosen to support a yes man candidate who has and will bow to anything he says, no matter what."
"If you want a Congressman who supports political violence in Ukraine or in the United States Capitol, who supports party over country, who supports a would-be tyrant over the Constitution, and who makes decisions based solely on reelection, then Russell Fry is your candidate," Rice continued. "If you want a Congressman who cowers to no man, who votes for what is right, even when it's hard, and who has fought like hell for the Grand Strand and Pee Dee, then I hope to earn your vote."
