During his speech at the United Nations, President Trump mocked North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, calling him “Rocket man” and threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea if they continued developing their nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

It’s not clear whether Rep. Stewart himself controls his Twitter account or if his social media accounts are handled by a staffer in his office.

Rep. Stewart’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
