WATCH: Al Franken: Republicans Are Concerned About Trumps Mental Health
Senator Al Franken told CNN’s Jake Tapper that in fact there are “a few” Republicans in Congress who have major concerns about Donald trump’s mental health.
Franken was appearing on CNN’s State of the Union when Jake Tapper asked Franken about the comments he made on Bill Maher’s show that some Republicans think Trump is “not right, mentally.”
“I know that was comedy, but is it true that some Republican colleagues expressed concerns about Trump’s mental health?” the CNN host asked.
“A few,” Franken replied. “It’s not the majority of them, a few.”
“In what way?” Tapper asked.
“In the way that we all have this suspicion that… he lies a lot, he says things that aren’t true. That’s the same as lying, I guess, ” Franken said with a smile.
Franken continued, “You know, three to five million people voted illegally. There’s a new one about people going in from Massachusetts. That is not the norm for a president of the United States or, actually, for a human being.”
