Sherrod Brown

The Democratic senator from Ohio, Sherrod Brown, tells NPR's Scott Simon he's willing to work with Donald Trump's administration on a number of issues.

SIMON: You see opportunities to work together there?

(still a demagouge)

BROWN: Yeah, I see opportunities. But I also saw a president-elect who said the right things to the - on election night and then to President Obama and then made his top political adviser, whose office will be next to his - I saw him bring somebody that's an out-and-out racist anti-Semite. And that's more than disappointing in a country as pluralistic as ours, that he would bring on somebody that even conservative commentators are saying is a bigot.
