This time it’s Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. He’s calling on Trump to resign for what Toomey says would be the good of the country after the Capitol riot that was carried out by supporters of the president.
Toomey says resignation is the “best path forward, the best way to get this person in the rear view mirror for us.” But Toomey says he’s not optimistic that Trump will step down before his term ends on Jan. 20.
Toomey also says that Trump’s role in encouraging the riot is an “impeachable offense.”
Toomey is the second GOP senator to call for Trump to step down, joining Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
Trump supporters who were angry over his loss to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden stormed the Capitol on Wednesday. Five people were killed.
Toomey was interviewed Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” and NBC’s “Meet the Press”
The MAGA pogromists are planning an ARMED INSURRECTION on Jan 17 in DC and vs all 50 state capitals. Its all over neo-nazi and maga social media. Lead story on Drudge. Yidden should stay safe and protect shuls and property! THIS IS A REAL THREAT BY MAGA- not a hoax!
The smoothest path for the country would be for Trump to resign now, Pence to pardon him for everything, and transition to Biden in two weeks. And Americans stop attacking each other in Minneapolis, Washington DC, and everywhere else.
I totally understand him, America is turning in to a police state, run by the social/mainstream media and it’s no time to be a republican/conservative, whoever doesn’t go along with the rhetoric is bound bound to suffer the consequences
he betrayed his voters, his country and the constitution of the US
it sucks to be him
Let it go and move on. It’s ten more days. Leave it . Any of these calls or invoking the 25th will only call for another violent clash . We need to cool the temps . In Trumps last video, he said unequivocally that Biden will be the next president and he will work with him for what’s left of a transition. Don’t disrupt what seems to be a final calming . The media is and fake news is trying to stoke tensions bec it keeps them in business . Don’t fall for the trap . Let it go . And after Biden takes off Congress and Vance need to let go . Imagine arresting Trump from maro lago in red state Florida . Why would you want to invoke a civil war ? Trump will be (and is already) a depressed soul . He is excommunicated from the Republican Party . He will be a fringe element on qanon and that’s it . For the better of the country especially during covid we need to ease the tensions . Let it go
We need to organize busses from Boro park Monsey and Lakewood to join our fellow Americans in fighting for Trump against these lefty ANtifas. I will speak to wealthy baalei batim to get free busses. We have hundreds of young chevra ready to stand up against the liberal jew haters. Long live Trump.
Go fly a kite. Trump not going anywhere.
