Birthday boy Rep. Trey Gowdy trolled; OMB director threatens to defund his haircuts

Rep. Trey Gowdy turned 53 Tuesday, and OMB Director Mick Mulvaney thought a little bit of trolling was in order:

What do you get for someone on his 60th birthday? A razor and a comb.
Happy birthday, @TGowdySC. pic.twitter.com/ZNWaPHZl7c

Gowdy, a former prosecutor and maybe someday possibly FBI director certainly wasn’t going to let that go unchallenged.

I'm just a couple of haircuts away from equaling the number of staff departures by your WH colleagues. I get it. You are hard to work with. https://t.co/sN0dg8ahrU

I keep waiting for your hair to do this at one of those committee hearings when your B.S. detector pegs. pic.twitter.com/sYgSv18iPd

And the finishing blow …

If I could defund your haircuts, I would. https://t.co/3SnJM5aq6b

If we could defend his haircuts, we would.

Birthday blessings, Rep Gowdy!
