Ron Klain: ‘What We Saw This Weekend Shows that Donald Trump Is Barely Human’

‘From a political aspect, if Donald Trump really wants to re-litigate the vote on ObamaCare over and over again’

KLAIN: "Well, look, I think there’s a personal element and a political element. On the personal side, Meghan McCain says John — that Donald Trump is not a great man. I would say what we saw this weekend shows that Donald Trump is barely human. I mean, to go after and attack John McCain, a national hero, months after his death, is just — it’s subhuman. It’s not only not befitting a president, it’s not befitting basic common norms of decency. That’s the human aspect of it. From a political aspect, if Donald Trump really wants to relitigate the vote on ObamaCare over and over again, my party won a national election in 2018 when the issue was health care. When the issue was whether or not Donald Trump was going to take away people’s coverage for pre-existing condition. So every time Donald Trump wants to sit in the Oval Office and say, I wish I’d taken away people’s coverage for pre-existing conditions, that’s a videotape my party would love to see on TV every day of the week."
