‘Some say he’s not right, mentally’: Senator Al Franken says colleagues worry about Trump
US Senator Al Franken says some of his fellow senators think Donald Trump is “not right mentally”.
“A few” Republicans are so concerned, the Minnesota Democrat told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. “It’s not the majority of them, it’s a few.”
Such concerns are expressed, he said, “in the way all of us have this suspicion. He lies a lot, he says things that aren’t true, that’s the same as lying I guess”.
Franken singled out Trump’s oft-repeated, evidence-free claims that mass voter fraud cost him a popular vote victory against Hillary Clinton. Clinton won nearly three million more ballots than Trump in November but lost in the electoral college.
“Y’know,” Franken added, “three to five million people voted illegally, there was a new one about people going in from Massachusetts to New Hampshire…
“That is not the norm for a president of the United States or actually for a human being.”
