Bernie Sanders is not happy about Donald Trump’s appointments to his cabinet. The president-elect told his voters that he would ensure they had jobs and tax cuts, but many are now speculating it will be business as usual for the GOP. Sanders explained to “Late Night” host Seth Meyers that it’s because Trump is not exactly known for being “scrupulously honest.”
Sanders said Trump made campaign promises that were inconsistent with GOP orthodoxy. “He said, ‘I’m the only Republican out there. I’m not going to cut Social Security. I’m not going to cut Medicare. and I’m not going to cut Medicaid.’ Well, you know, Mr. Trump, we’re going to hold you accountable for those statements.”
Prescription drug prices are soaring, people can’t afford medicine, some people are dying because drugs are too expensive; these are all problems Sanders sees as fixable if the new president-elect chose to.
“He said, ‘I’m going to take on the drug companies,'” Sanders recalled. “Well, Mr. Trump, we’re going to work with you, if you keep your word. But the point is you can’t make statements in a campaign and then the day after the election, forget.”
