Sanders: Trump’s Billionaire Cabinet Will Go After Working Families, the Elderly, the Sick and the Poor

RUSH EXCERPT:
SANDERS: "Well, here is my only point, Jake. Look, it is one thing if you run a campaign that says, look, I think Wall Street is great, I think the drug companies are great, I think we have to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And, if people want to vote for that, that’s fine. That’s democracy. But you have a president who I think, in a totally fraudulent campaign, said that, “I’m going to stand up for the working people.” Look at his Cabinet. We have never had more billionaires in a Cabinet in the history of this country. Look at his appointees. These are people who are going to after the needs of working families, the elderly, the children, the sick, and the poor. That is called hypocrisy. And, by the way, I think people like Mitch McConnell, who you just had on, who is a mainstream conservative politician, are going to be put into a very, very difficult place. And I would hope that people like Senator McConnell and other Republicans have the courage to stand up, A, to Trump’s movement toward authoritarianism, toward a situation where Trump says, “Everybody is terrible and wrong. I’m the only guy who can protect the American people.” You know what? Many women in our military did not stand up and fight and die to lead us in a direction of an authoritarian society. We’re a democracy, not a one-man show. We are not another Trump enterprise. It’s called the United States of America. We’re not a business run by Mr. Trump. And I hope that Senator McConnell, who is a decent guy, conservative guy — I disagree with him on everything. But I would hope that he and his Republican friends will make it clear to Trump that this country belongs to all of us, and it’s not a one-man show."
