   Several Republicans in Congress called out President Trump on Thursday for a   
   series of tweets they described as "beneath the dignity of your office."   
   At least seven Republican Senators — including Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse,   
   South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and Maine Sen. Susan Collins — spoke out   
   after Trump targeted Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski on Twitter. Trump   
   called her "crazy" and    
   criticized her appearance, saying he saw her "bleeding badly from a   
   face-lift." The tweet followed a trend of Trump singling out female reporters,   
   often for their appearance.   
   "This is not okay," Republican Kansas Rep. Lynn Jenkins said. "As a female in   
   politics I am often criticized for my looks. We should be working to empower   
   women."   
   Other Republican leaders weighed in on social media throughout the day, as did   
   Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan: "Obviously, I don't see that as an   
   appropriate comment."   
   "I think what we're trying to do around here is improve the tone and civility   
   of the debate, and this obviously doesn't help do that," Ryan said at a press   
   conference, when asked about Trump's tweet.

   Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee also called on more Republicans to condemn Trump's   
   remarks."I want my GOP colleagues to explain to my 3 granddaughters why they   
   think these viciously sexist comments are acceptable from our President," Lee   
   said on Twitter. "   
   This isn’t just about Trump. We already knew he has no respect for women.   
   It’s also about the GOP – which continues to defend & support him.   
   President Trump acts like his words don’t have consequences. Why? Because   
   others in his party come to his    
   defense every single time."
