US President Donald Trump is not a role model for kids, says a GOP senator.

“I don’t think that President Trump as a person is a role model for a lot of young people and the kids,” said Oklahoma Republican Senator James Lankford on CBS’ “Face The Nation” that aired on Sunday. Iran News quotes the report.

“That’s just me personally… I don’t like the way that he tweets, some of the things that he says, his word choices at times are not my word choices. Trump comes across with more New York City swagger than I do from the Midwest and definitely not the way that I’m raising my kids,” he continued. “Saying that, there are policy areas that we agree on and when we agree on those things we work on those things together… But it’s also been a grand challenge to be able to say, for a person of faith, for a person who believes that there is a right way to go on things I- I wish that he did. And he was more of a role model in those areas.”

The lawmaker further praised the former reality TV star for his practice of “religious liberty” in the White House.

“Trump is focused on putting people around him that are very focused on religious liberty, not honoring a particular faith, but honoring any person of any faith to go be able to live and practice that faith and to have respect for that. That’s helpful for any person of faith,” Lankford claimed.

Trump recently became the third president in US history to be impeached and that over-pressuring Ukraine to gain an advantage over a political rival in 2020.

Despite the impeachment in the House, Trump will be acquitted in the GOP-majority Senate.

“No matter what we do, the president is going to say he did nothing wrong,” said Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy.
