On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” former Hillary for America Campaign Manager Robby Mook argued that sexual misconduct shouldn’t be a partisan issue and “the whole house” has to be cleaned, but that won’t happen “while the president of the United States is still in office and is on tape talking about sexual assault.”
Mook said, “This bridge got crossed a long time ago. The president of the United States is on tape talking about sexual assault. The party knew this while he was their nominee. There’s — it’s reported that Reince Priebus got off the train on the way to new york. We’re in a really deep hole here. And I’m proud that, you know, people in our party are stepping up and calling on people to step down.”
He added, “This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. We’ve got to clean the whole house. That’s not going to happen while the president of the United States is still in office and is on tape talking about sexual assault.”
