During an interview broadcast on Wednesday’s edition of CNN’s “AC360,” Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) called for President Trump to resign over the sexual assault allegations against him and argued the president “has some very serious emotional problems.”
Sanders reacted to Trump’s tweet about Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) by stating, “I think you’ve got a president who has some very serious emotional problems. To say that about a female United States senator is obscene. It is absurd. Everyone knows exactly what he meant.”
Sanders added, “You’ve got a president who has been accused, by many, many women of harassment, to say the least. This is a guy who was on a tape seen by everybody in America essentially bragging about his sexual assault of women. Do I think under those considerations of Al Franken resigned, do I think the president should resign? I do. Do I think he will? I don’t. But, yes, I do think he should resign.”
