Carl Bernstein: Trump’s Inner Circle Is Saying ‘We Must Save the Country from the President’

‘Mitch McConnell knows this kind of attitude about the danger posed by the president’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BERNSTEIN: "It does, or it can, because indeed, one of his themes and those of people around him, think there is a deep state conspiracy against president Trump an that theme is being repeated because of this letter in the "New York Times," this piece in the "New York Times." What's really going on here is that Bob Woodward's book, and the contents of what is in the anonymous piece in the "New York Times," those closest to the president of the United States are saying, we must save the country from the president of the United States. Incidentally, people, Republicans in Congress, this is no surprise to them. They have heard this from people around the president of the United States. Mitch McConnell knows this kind of attitude about the danger posed by the president has been expressed to Mitch McConnell by people around the president. The same with Paul Ryan. What we need here are, finally, I think, some hearings on -- congressional hearings, in which an executive session or open session, those around the president of the United States are questioned about the fitness of Donald Trump to be the president of the United States."
