Monday at the “We the People” Democratic candidates’ forum, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said President Donald Trump and his administration were a “walking, talking, living, breathing threat to national security.”
Referencing a whistleblower’s accusations that the White House ordered security clearance after initial denials, Warren said, “We woke up this morning to find out that at least 25 people in this administration had been denied security clearances. Why? Because they had time to foreign governments because they had conflicts of interest because they had financial problems that made them vulnerable.”
She continued, “And what does the president of the United States do? Instead of saying ‘Hey, whoa, my responsibility is to watch out for the American people,’ no these are friends, these are people with money and with connections, and his answer was just ‘Ram ’em on through.”
She added, “You know, the Trump administration is a walking, talking, living, breathing threat to national security. And we just have to call it out.”
