‘He's an awful old crank’: John Dingell posts amusing video reading '@JimmyKimmel-style Mean Tweets'

OK, this is pretty funny. Former Rep. John Dingell made a bet with his wife, Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan’s 12th Congressional District, that if she were able to get 5000 new followers, he’d make a Jimmy Kimmel-style “Mean-Tweets” video:

Wife & I just made a Twitter wager:

If she can get 5,000 followers by Sunday night, I have to film a @jimmykimmel-style Mean Tweets video.

And the result? Debbie got the 5000 followers, leading to this rather amusing video of John making good on the wager. Enjoy:

Sometimes, people send me mean tweets. I wanted to share a few of my favorites. (You win this round, @RepDebDingell)https://t.co/QvH3ew0SnQ
