In a Wednesday evening open-letter, failed West Virginia senate candidate and convicted coal CEO Don Blankenship went into full attack mode against President Donald Trump.

After a humiliating defeat in the GOP primary, Blankenship took to Facebook to compare himself to Trump for being under attack for decades.

"You have rightfully complained about fake news and the corrupt Obama-era Department of Justice (DOJ)," Blankenship wrote. "However, you seem unaware of the fact that you are not the only one under attack."

He claimed that he has been be the victim of false charges all trumped up by his enemies and the fake news media. He then blamed Trump for spreading fake news against him.

"You, yourself, also spread fake news against me. Your interference in the West Virginia election displayed a lack of understanding of the likely outcome of the upcoming general election," he continued. "Patrick Morrisey will likely lose the general election. It’s too late to change that, but it’s not helpful to do to me what others are doing to you."

1. "I'm a victim. Whine. People are mean to me." - republican soul song

Kind pathetic to hear the 1 % whine about their own shortcomings. Dirty Donny* models this simpering, whiney, privileged a-hole behavior for all the repugs, and their children and grandchildren. They are manifesting a russian-backed KGOP Generation of Whiners.
