Donald Trump is not forgetting about the people who pulled their support for him during the presidential election.

Trump, during an interview Tuesday with The New York Times, criticized Republican lawmaker Joe Heck indirectly for abandoning him late in the race. Heck, a House member who ran for Senate this election cycle, said he would not support Trump after a video release showed the President-elect making lewd comments about women.

"He endorsed me then he unendorsed me, and he went down like a lead balloon," Trump told the Times. "And then they called me before the race, and said they wanted me to endorse him and do a big thing, and I said, 'No thank you, good luck.'"

Heck lost by 2.4 percentage points to Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto in the Nevada Senate race.

"He was up by 10 points," Trump said to the Times. "You know who I'm talking about."
