Dem Sen Hirono: Trump ‘Has No Moral Core’

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Wolf,” Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) said President Trump “has no moral core” as far as anyone can tell.

Hirono stated she agreed with Senator John McCain’s (R-AZ) comments from the night before. She added, “Because the president is really great at calling everyone who doesn’t agree with his worldview or his perspective names. That’s what he loves to do. And meanwhile, the real world, with real problems continues. So, I have very little hope that this president, who has no moral core, as far as we can tell, to engage in a battle with Senator McCain. The fact of the matter is that when I talk with world leaders, that we are losing our position our leadership role in the world because of the kinds of actions and statements that the president makes, and — things such as the rhetoric relating to North Korea, the pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, the saber-rattling and all of that that he engages in. I think that his inability to focus on things does not help our standing in the world, at a time when, I think, people still hope for the US  to provide leadership in the world.”
