In a tweet that went viral, Randy Rainbow slammed former President Donald Trump after the House's January 6 committee hearing Tuesday.

Trump is alleged to have lunged at a Secret Service officer and even tried to reach for the steering wheel to drive himself to the Capitol during 2021's insurrection.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide made the shocking statements at the hearing. She told officials that even though Trump knew that the mob that had gathered at the Capitol had weapons, he still had supporters go there.

Online, social media users had a field day with the hearing's revelations.

One such user was singer and comedian Randy Rainbow.

"He really thought he could simultaneously hijack a vehicle and choke out a mf with those tiny little hands," Rainbow wrote.

The tweet has gone viral with more than 46,000 likes.

Others also commented and created memes based on Hutchinson's testimony -- which also included her telling the committee that Trump threw his lunch against a wall, splattering ketchup on it.

Tuesday's tweet is not the first time Rainbow has taken to Twitter to call out a Republican -- or Trump, for that matter. He recently slammed U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado after she posted about him in a tweet calling Democrats groomers.

"A North Carolina preschool is using LGBT flag flashcards with a pregnant man to teach kids colors," wrote the Colorado congresswoman. But she wasn't done -- she also name-checked Rainbow. "We went from Reading Rainbow to Randy Rainbow in a few decades, but don't dare say the left is grooming our kids!" she added.

Rainbow saw the post and responded in kind to the unprovoked attack. "Sweetie your homophobia is showing ... and for the record, I've had my tubes tied," he tweeted back.

In March, he dropped the video "Gurl, You're a Karen" in the style of "Dentist" from Little Shop of Horrors. In the video, Rainbow calls out Boebert and fellow Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia for their bigoted views.

The video begins with a mock interview where Rainbow asks, "You've had a busy few weeks speaking at white nationalist conventions, heckling the president's State of the Union. Tell us, how do you balance your day job as a bigoted, fame-hungry conspiracy theorist with your personal life as a bigoted, hypocritical, traditionalist, and overall threat to civilization -- and a mom?" He then breaks into song, calling out both congresswomen for their support of Nazis, rejection of science, and anti-American beliefs.
