BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts congressman is taking issue with Republican President Donald Trump's claim he's the target of the "single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history."
That's because Democrat Seth Moulton represents Salem, the scene of the single greatest witch hunt in American history.
Trump tweeted his comment following the appointment of a special counsel to investigate allegations his campaign collaborated with Russia to sway the election.
Moulton responded, tweeting out "as the Representative of Salem, MA, I can confirm that this is false."
Nineteen men and women were hanged and one man was crushed to death during the 1692 Salem hysteria.
