Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) told the Late Show with Stephen Colbert that his Republican colleagues in the Senate privately admit that President Trump is “racist” and “misogynist.”
Said Brown: “Most Republican senators, when you talk to them individually, quietly, will acknowledge that Trump is a racist. They’ll acknowledge that Trump is a misogynist, they’ll acknowledge he has trouble telling the truth.”
He added: “It’s pretty clear that Republican senators, I mean they’re not going to go down as profiles in courage. It’s pretty clear that they like the tax cuts that Trump gave them. They like the attacks on the environment and on labor rights, and they like the young right-wing judges. And they’re all scared of their base. They’re all scared of a Republican primary from a Trump supporter that could take them out.”
