Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is pushing back on President Trump’s claim that Democrats have been obstructionists on tax reform, saying on Sunday that Democrats have been shut out of the process.
“Democrats have been completely shut out of this process just as they’ve been shut out of the health-care legislation process,” Sanders told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Sanders was referring to a tweet from Trump on Friday, when the president accused Democrats of being “obstructionists” during the tax-reform process.
