Trump lashes out at Joaquin Castro as the 'lesser brother of a failed presidential candidate'

President Trump attacked Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) on Wednesday, a day after Castro was widely criticized for tweeting the names of prominent San Antonio-area Trump donors.

In a tweet Wednesday night Trump referred to Castro as the "lesser brother of a failed presidential candidate (1%) who makes a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth."

An initial tweet misspelled Castro's name, though Trump posted a corrected tweet a few minutes later. Castro's brother, former Housing and Urban Development secretary and San Antonio mayor Julián Castro, is among the roughly two dozen Democrats running for president.

Julián Castro responded in his own tweet, vowing that he and his brother would "keep fighting" against Trump's "hate" and "corruption.

Joaquin and I will keep fighting. The American people will fight every day for our nation, against your hate, your corruption, and your ego. And we’ll win. #AdiósTrump," he tweeted.
