Full interview: Sen. Michael Bennet on Trump's retaliation against Colorado

Published | Video Starts at 05:28

We stopped 90 of his nominees from going through because the drug czar was not somebody that was supposed to pass with just 51 votes. And now at the end of this last session, We held up the appropriations process because the president, in my view, had unconstitutionally threatened not to fund NCAR. So, you know, he is wildly out of control in terms of what he's doing, not just with respect to Colorado, but with respect to the enrichment of himself, with respect to the lies that he tells almost every day. (05:28–05:36)
