Congressman Jared Huffman (D., Calif.) tweeted on Monday that if President Donald Trump wanted to meet someone with an "IQ problem," he should meet "rich, white and dumber than a bag of hammers" Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

"Dear President Trump, if you want to meet someone who has an actual IQ problem (as opposed to just being black), meet your Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. Rich, white and dumber than a bag of hammers," Huffman tweeted.

Huffman included video of a recent "60 Minutes" interview with DeVos. In the interview, she appeared to struggle to answer questions about her home state of Michigan, a place where she was a vocal advocate for school choice.

Huffman's tweet comes days after Trump, during a campaign event in Pennsylvania, attacked fellow Californian Rep. Maxine Waters as having a "low IQ."

"Did you ever see her? Did you ever see her? 'We will impeach him. We will impeach the president,'" Trump said in reference to Waters' frequent calls to impeach Trump.

"She's a low IQ individual," Trump said. "You can't help it."
