U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet said this week that Congress is in one of its most dysfunctional states in the nation’s history and, though it had problems before Donald Trump’s election, his presidency is “a sign of how broken our political system is.”

“It was broken before Donald Trump was elected president, and now in a sign of how broken our political system is, we have elected a reality TV star to be the leader of the free world,” Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado, said Tuesday on NBC’s “Meet the Press Daily.” “Even in this mess, some bipartisanship has been able to be accomplished.”

The show’s moderator, Chuck Todd, asked Bennet about the possibility of him being called a sellout if he doesn’t support U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ plan to provide government-run health care for all.

Sanders plans to unveil his proposal Wednesday. Democratic leaders have stopped short of embracing it, while others are warning it’s a political and policy trap.

“The way I should be judged and, frankly, the way Bernie should be judged on this is whether we are creating more opportunity for Americans to buy quality health care at a lower price, or to get quality health care at a lower price,” Bennet said.
