Brennan accuses Trump of dividing US: 'This could spill over into the streets'

Former CIA Director John Brennan issued one of his most stern rebukes yet of President Trump on Friday night, arguing that the political climate in the country is likely to get worse under his tenure.
“Fundamentally, though, what he’s doing to this country, he’s dividing us…He’s dividing Americans," Brennan said of the president during an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.â€
"So I’m really concerned that as he continues to play to his base, he’s further dividing us, and I’m really concerned about whether this could spill over into the streets,†he said.
Brennan and Trump have been engaged in back-and-forth attacks since the president revoked Brennan’s security clearance earlier this month in what was widely viewed as retaliation for the former Obama administration official's vocal criticism of the president.
