Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is not holding back on his thoughts about former President Donald Trump and his upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate.
Schumer spoke with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow where he said the nation can be unified by “truth and accountability.”
“I don’t think you can just say, ‘Never mind,’ with some of the egregious things Trump has done,” he said. However, he added that it should not “be our number one concern.”
The Democratic senator later said, “You can’t just sweep some of these egregious things under the rug. Plain and simple.”
He called Trump’s act on Jan. 6 — the day pro-Trump protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol — the “most despicable thing any president has ever done.”
“He is the worst president ever,” Schumer declared.
Watch Schumer’s interview below:
The House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump for the second time, charging him with “incitement of insurrection.”
Trump previously called the impeachment efforts “absolutely ridiculous” and suggested “it’s causing tremendous danger to our country.”
