(CNN) New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker slammed President Donald Trump for declaring he would let Obamacare fail Tuesday, saying "that's not just cynical, it's actually sinister." In an interview on "CNN Tonight," Booker told CNN's Don Lemon that during the 2016 election, Trump promised voters that only he could fix health care in America, but he outsourced responsibility to the Republican leadership. That's just not a cynical way that's violating his promises, that's sinister. Earlier Tuesday, Trump told reporters at the White House that he and his party would bear no responsibility for the failure of Obamacare. We'll let Obamacare fail and then the Democrats are going to come to us," Trump said.
