In an interview with Mother Jones, State Sen. Richard Ojeda (D-7) slammed President Trump, calling his administration a “circus” and even targeting his daughter, Ivanka Trump.
“Come on. It’s been a circus. Put your cell phone down. Stop tweeting and fighting with Rosie O’Donnell. Be a president. Kick your kids out of the Oval Office. When I hear Ivanka Trump saying how she looks forward to working side by side with General Kelly, a guy who’s got 40 years’ worth of experience leading troops all across the world, and she makes handbags, come on. Be a president. We need that. I don’t want him to fail. I don’t want him to fail because he’s our president. He’s piloting the plane that we’re all on. But goodness gracious, this is just brutal. And every day, there’s something new that comes out that seems like it’s pushing us closer to war with another country. We’ve got to be smarter than this,” Ojeda said on Wednesday.
He also stereotyped billionaires as being ‘born with silver spoons in their mouths.’
“We did the same thing with the governor that we got from this state. He was a billionaire, told everybody, ‘We’re going to do this, all these great things. I’m a wizard when it comes to business, and I’m going to be a wizard for the state. I’m going to be a wizard for the country.’ That’s basically what we were told, and you know what? We’re always like, ‘Hey, let’s give them a chance. They didn’t become billionaires because they’re stupid.’ We didn’t realize that many cases most of them inherited most of it. That’s how it was. We bought it.”
Ojeda is presently seeking the 3rd district congressional seat in West Virginia.
