Ouch! NRCC thanks Rep. Ted Lieu for last year's House election taunt that has 'aged like milk'

Last year, Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu of California wanted Republicans to know that, in part because of President Trump, House Republicans were on the verge of losing big time in the 2020 election:

Dear @NRCC: Good luck to your Congressional candidates in California.https://t.co/rWhyvvfddr

— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) September 27, 2019

As you now know, things didn’t exactly turn out badly for the Republicans. In fact, the Democrats were lucky to hang onto control of the House:

CA25 looks like it will stay in GOP hands this finally finishing the the House races nationwide. The GOP won all 27 toss up seats. And the Dems failed to flip even ONE house seat nationwide. #BidenCheated

Finally! Official welcome back and that’s our 13th flip! https://t.co/CVhJ3rra8G

However, the NRCC appreciated the opportunity to let Rep. Lieu know what a colossal backfire he had on his hands:

Thanks Ted! We had a pretty darn good cycle. Appreciate your good wishes. https://t.co/pooLa6btTQ

Thanks Ted!

Worked out pretty well this cycle.

The NRCC is on track to have more pick ups in California than any other state! #CA21 #CA25 #CA48 #CA49 https://t.co/hPJCKOzFcY
