Carl Bernstein knows a thing or two about corrupt presidents. Along with Bob Woodward, he broke the Watergate scandal. Now he is reacting to the call Donald Trump had with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Here is part of what he said:
“This is something far worse than Watergate. We have both a criminal president of the United States in Donald Trump and a subversive president of the United States at the same time in this one person. Subverting the very basis of our democracy and willing to act criminally in that subversion but more importantly what we hear… This is the ultimate smoking gun tape. It is the tape with the evidence of what this president is willing to do to undermine the electoral system and illegally, improperly, and immorally try to instigate a coup in which he remains the president of the United States and in any other presidency… this tape would be evidence enough to result in the impeachment of the president of the United States, his conviction in the Senate of the United States and really an immediate call by the members of Congress, including in his own party that he resign immediately. That’s really what we ought to be hearing from Republicans at this moment, ‘Mr. President resign. Leave the White House. This is unconscionable, it’s wrong and we, of your party, will not permit it’ and we aren’t going to hear that. We might from a few Republicans, but that’s what is really called for here. And the one thing we should recall from Watergate is the heroes of Watergate were Republicans who wouldn’t tolerate Richard Nixon’s conduct.”
