Bernie Continues Fight Against Oligarchy on Senate Floor

Bernie Sanders said Donald Trump has “absolutely” created a constitutional crisis in the United States and is pushing the country “very rapidly toward an authoritarian form of society”.

The independent senator from Vermont has been rallying the anti-Trump resistance on a cross-country “Fight Oligarchy” tour, drawing some of the largest crowds of his decades-long political career as he taps into rising anger over the president’s stunning power grabs.

In an interview after an event in Tempe, Arizona, on Thursday night, Sanders accused Trump of “illegally” attempting to dissolve government agencies, including via an executive order, signed hours before the senator took the stage, to dismantle the US Department of Education, which cannot be done without the approval of Congress.

He also pointed to the Trump administration’s defiance of a federal judge’s order not to deport a group of Venezuelan immigrants.“So yes, I think we are in the midst of the constitutional crisis,” Sanders said.
