Rep. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) fired back at President Trump on Saturday after he dubbed her "Wacky Jacky" during a campaign speech in Nevada.
The President is attacking me with lies and petty insults because Im not afraid to stand up to him," Rosen said in a statement after the rally. "Dean Heller has been a rubber stamp for Donald Trump in Washington, caving to the Presidents divisive agenda at Nevadas expense. This was Senator Hellers reward for his loyalty.
Rosen, who is challenging Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) in this fall's midterm elections, was singled out by Trump during the Nevada state GOP convention.

Heller is considered to be vulnerable in his Senate race, with Democrats hoping to pick up his seat to help flip the Senate.
A Nevada Independent/Mellman Group survey from April showed Heller leading Rosen by just 1 point.

She needs to repeat the fact that Heller caves and is weak; not his own man. He won't stand up for what's why because he's a coward.
We can win this like Alabama. It's trending Jacky's way.
