Incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Calls For Trump To Be Removed From Office

What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the United States, incited by President Trump.

This president must not hold office one day longer.

It's been reported that it was Vice President Mike Pence who called in the National Guard, and not Donald Trump.

Trump's social media director Dan Scarvino's Twitter feed announced that Trump "supports a peaceful transfer of power on January 20" but like a seditious fool -- in the same tweet -- Trump claimed he won the election and has evidence to prove it:

...fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”

Twitter should suspend Scarvino's feed as well, since he's tweeting what Trump wasn't allowed to.
