Blumenthal: ‘Comparing Donald Trump to the Normal CEO Is an Insult to the American Business Community’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

BLUMENTHAL: "Comparing Donald Trump to the normal CEO I think is an insult to the American business community because my hope is that — that an ordinary CEO has more respect for rule of law than Donald Trump. In fact, he has nothing but contempt for the American judiciary, for the rule of law and for the principles of democracy that are so threatened because of his chaotic and erratic administration. And I asked Judge Kavanaugh directly about these attacks on the American judiciary in the confirmation hearing. I was deeply and gravely disappointed by judge Kavanaugh’s failure to denounce and condemn these attacks on the independent judiciary. And when the history of this era is written, Ari, I believe the heroes will be our independent judiciary and our free press who have done so much to defend our democracy despite the continuing contempt for the rule of law demonstrated by our president."
