(Bismarck, ND) -- North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley is defending a series of tweets where he challenged a man and called him names.

Wrigley posted the tweets Tuesday, calling retiree Henry Lebak a "dirtbag" and challenging him to "be a man" and come to Wrigley's office. Wrigley says the challenge was not an invitation to a confrontation or physical altercation.

Lebak had questioned how Wrigley's eldest daughter got an internship in U.S. Senator John Hoeven's office.
