Every minute the President remains in office is a minute too long for our
Republic. It’s time to remove Trump from the seat of our government.

John, the President is a traitor and an ongoing threat to American democracy.

Republicans who disagree must be fundamentally dishonest, unserious, or
anti-American.

 

Let’s state it in plain English: the President of the United States, after
falsely declaring an election was stolen from him, sicced an armed, violent mob
on the Capitol during a joint session with the Vice President present. 

 

This was no Constitutional assembly. These terrorists were not petitioning for
a redress of grievances.

 

This was an attempted coup d'état against the United States government,
orchestratedby President Trump, and abetted by the Sedition Caucus.

 

We still have many more questions than answers about this assault on our
democracy—who impeded the National Guard from entering the District, and why?
What wasTrump’s true intent? What were the ultimate goals of the
insurrectionists seen with firearms, zip ties, and nooses?

 

It seems that the more we learn about January 6, 2021, the more shocking and
appalling it becomes. We were just seconds, and just inches away, from a total
decapitation of the Federal Government. 

 

First, second, and third in the line of presidential succession—Vice President
Pence, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and President pro tempore Chuck Grassley—were all
present, andwere all targets of the terrorists. 

 

We will learn much more in the days to come. But first, John, it is paramount
for our national security, and to reaffirm the peaceful transfer of power, that
wedepose President Trump as soon as possible. 

 

Reporting on Mike Pence’s thinking indicates the 25th Amendment will not be
used—soimpeachment for inciting an insurrection is the next best route.

 

As calls for removing Trump quickly spread through Washington, many
Republicans—themselves largely in theSedition Caucus—have rejected the idea for
the sake of “unity.”

 

To them, I ask, what better way to unify the country than a bipartisan
impeachment and removal of a treasonous demagogue? Rather—what is unifying
about allowingcrimes against our very Constitution to continue to go unpunished?

 

We cannot set a precedent in this country that a failed coup attempt is
excusable conduct for the President. 

 

John, can you pitch in $100

,$50
<[link removed]>,
or$13
<[link removed]>
 to help us remind theSedition Caucus that they’re playing with fire?

 

Congress must act on the House’s impeachment articles expeditiously.

 

Every minute the President remains in office is a minute too long for our
Republic. 

 

It’s time to remove Trump from the seat of our government. And it’s time for
theSedition Caucus to pay for crimes against our country.
