DNC chairman Tom Perez, former Labor Secretary under President Obama, called President Trump "Putin's poodle" and the "most dangerous president in American history" in an interview with MSNBC on Monday.





TOM PEREZ, DNC CHAIRMAN: I think he's the most dangerous president in American history. Not only because of his refusal to take actions against Russia. I mean, the most serious threat to the integrity of the elections is Russia. I think he's the most dangerous president in history is because he's hurting American workers. The most important thing I can do is to win elections, and that's exactly what we've been doing the last year. Winning elections in places like Oklahoma, Doug Jones in Alabama, the elections in Virginia and elsewhere.



I'm in Washington state because right now we have a tremendous opportunity to pick up Congressional seats. We've seen what happens when you take over the state senate, Washington state just enacted a wide array of voting rights reforms to make it easier for people to vote. They did so because the Democrats finally took over the state senate. So, I feel like my role is to make sure we are electing Democrats everywhere. He's undeniably the most dangerous president in American history. We have to make sure that his tenure is as short as possible.
