An interesting thing about electing a "cognitively irresponsible" leader like Trump is that he has filled his Cabinet with people who are likewise irresponsible. None of these folks will answer questions or allow Congress to fulfill its oversight role. None of them are accountable.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"
