Representative Joaquin Castro tweeted out the names of some Trump donors and how he was disappointed in them. Republicans are saying what he did is outrageous and encourages violence towards these Trump donors and supporters alike. Is what Castro did uncalled for or does he have a right to do this? Would you want a member of your Congress conducting this type of behavior?
