'I don't like the way that he tweets, some of the things that he says,' GOP Senator James Lankford said. 'His word choices at times are not my word choices.'
Republican Senator James Lankford admitted on Sunday that he doesn't believe President Donald Trump"as a person is a role model for a lot of youth" and how he comes across is"definitely" not the way he intends to raise his children.with Democratic Senator Chris Coons, host Margaret Brennan asked Lankford to comment on GOP criticisms of Trump's morality amid the ongoing impeachment proceedings.
"I don't think that President Trump as a person is a role model for a lot of youth. That's me personally. I don't like the way that he tweets, some of the things that he says," he continued."His word choices at times are not my word choices. He comes across with more New York City swagger than I do from the Midwest. That's definitely not the way that I'm raising my kids.
"It's also been a grand challenge to say, for a person of faith, for a person who believes there's a right way to go on things, I wish that he was more of a role model in those areas," he said."I look at some of the moral decisions that he's made and go, 'I disagree with that.' But he's also been very protective of areas of life, areas of religious liberty, allowing someone to be able to live their faith out.
