In a strong criticism of the Republican Party, Senator Bernie Sanders recently told CNN‘s Anderson Cooper that the GOP has turned into a “Stalinist-type party or cult of the individual,” with members “afraid to stand up to Donald Trump.”
Sanders made these comments while discussing a new bill introduced by Senator Josh Hawley to undo certain Medicaid cuts that were part of a larger tax and spending bill—a bill Hawley himself had voted for just two weeks earlier. Sanders said he found the situation hard to believe, calling it “a very crazy environment.”
