Bernie Sanders says GOP ‘has ceased to be a political party’ and is now a ‘cult’ in fiery rebuke of Trump fraud claims
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Senator Bernie Sanders said the GOP is no longer a political party but a “cult” because it has largely remained silent or supportive as the president continues increasingly desperate challenges to the election results with no real evidence of fraud.
It is beyond pathetic for a sitting president to try to subvert the results of an election. It is even worse when the Republican Party, with few exceptions, remains silent over this outrageous attack on democracy. The GOP has ceased to be a political party. It is now a cult.

Only a few high-profile Republicans in Washington like Senator Mitt Romney of Utah have dared to criticize the president’s post-election conduct, even as he and his associates continue to repeat false conspiracies about the election and take highly controversial moves like the president personally calling election officials in Michigan to pressure them to decertify election results.
