US Senator Chris Murphy said that he is unfollowing President Donald Trump on Twitter, calling the President's feed "the most hate-filled" of the accounts the lawmaker follows.

Iran Press/America: "I'm unfollowing the President of the United States today on Twitter, because his feed is the most hate-filled, racist, and demeaning of the 200+ I follow," the Connecticut Democrat tweeted, "and it regularly ruins my day to read it. So I'm just going to stop."

He continued: "I can't believe I just typed that."

Trump is known to be a persistent tweeter and often uses the social media platform to attack on his critics.

Trump tweeted Saturday that Cummings' district, which is majority black and includes parts of Baltimore, are "FAR WORSE and more dangerous" than those at the US-Mexico border, also calling it "a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess." Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, serves as chairman of the House Oversight Committee -- one of the House committees investigating the President, CNN reported.

US President's recent tweeted attacks on prominent African American congressman Elijah Cummings have sparked backlash from top politicians, including Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. Jack Young and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Young tweeted that it was "completely unacceptable for the political leader of our country to denigrate a vibrant American City like Baltimore, and to viciously attack US Representative Elijah Cummings a patriot and a hero."

Pelosi -- whose father represented the city in Congress, and, along with her brother, served as its mayor -- echoed those sentiments, calling Trump's tweets racist.

.@RepCummings is a champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague. We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership. #ElijahCummingsIsAPatriot https://t.co/2LG8AuQrHh
