In an interview on ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday, Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy warned of an "assault on the Constitution" under President Donald Trump.
"I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate," Murphy said. "The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes."
Pointing to the Trump administration's efforts to overhaul the federal government, including by freezing foreign aid programs under the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Murphy said the country is in the midst of a "red-alert moment" and argued that Trump is ushering in "the billionaire takeover of government."
Trump and Elon Musk, the billionaire leader of the new Department of Government Efficiency, have called for a shuttering of USAID, with Trump posting on social media, "CLOSE IT DOWN!"
"The president wants to be able to decide how and where money is spent so that he can reward his political friends, he can punish his political enemies," Murphy said. "That is the evisceration of democracy."
Comment:
There is nothing in our constitution that says that the President can't investigate waste, fraud and abuse of federal spending.
In fact, the President has an obligation to protect the hard-working American Taxpayer's money from being wasted and stolen.
Sen Murphy is saying that stopping their stealing is an "assault on our constitution", and is an "evisceration of democracy"
The Democrats are attempting to make the case that they are entitled to steal from the Taxpayers.
