After US Capitol Hill Violence, Democrat Voices Calling For Trump’s Impeachment Grow Louder

News 18  

Donald Trump finally conceded defeat to Democratic president-elect Joe Biden hours after the violence in the US Capitol Hill that left four people dead and a nation aghast. Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker said in a statement, “I don’t make a statement like this lightly: Two weeks is too long for Donald Trump to remain in office, where he can continue to incite more untold violence.” Others said that Trump was unfit to serve in office for a second time. If they are too cowardly, Congress must impeach him.” Calling Trump directly responsible for the incident on Wednesday, Congressman Seth Moulton said, “He needs to be removed from office immediately. The New York Times columnist Brett Stephens said in an opinion piece, “To allow Trump to serve out his term, however brief it may be, puts the nation’s safety at risk, leaves our reputation as a democracy in tatters and evades the inescapable truth that the assault on Congress was an act of violent sedition aided and abetted by a lawless, immoral and terrifying president.” Read all the Latest News, Breaking News and Coronavirus News here
