The left's hatred of President Donald Trump is a self-fulfilling prophecy enhanced by political resistance and only getting worse in an election year, according to Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y.
"The hatred that Democrats have toward the president, the animosity, the opposition, the resistance, the obstruction as November gets closer," Zeldin told "The Cats Roundtable" on 970 AM-N.Y., adding "things have gotten even worse, because the elections that are coming up.
"If you're in a Democratic primary for Congress and someone is running to your left, the worst thing in your mind, or maybe in your voters' minds, may be for you to get caught working with Republicans, working with the president."
Zeldin also told host John Catsimatidis he wants Justice Department and FBI leaders to be held to "the highest possible standards," because "no one should be above the law" in having sought politically motivated investigations into the Trump campaign before he took office.
"We know that there was misconduct and there just needs to be accountability at the end of it," Zeldin said. "We don't want to see a two-tiered justice system.
"That was part of the issue with the Roger Stone case. Andrew McCabe ends up not being charged with anything. And then Roger Stone ends up getting sentenced for a few years. The two-tiered justice system causes resentment in our country."
