President Trump lashed out at Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) in a pair of late-night tweets Thursday after she called him “a petulant child” following his refusal to wear a face mask at all times during his visit to a Ford manufacturing plant in the state earlier that day.

“The president is like a petulant child who refuses to follow the rules,” Nessel said in a Thursday evening appearance on CNN. “This is no joke.”

Nessel, who wrote a strongly worded letter to Trump ahead of his visit telling him that he had a “legal” and “moral responsibility” to wear a mask, unleashed on the president in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.
