Nearly 100 lawmakers call for Trump's removal through impeachment or 25th Amendment


Nearly 100 Democratic members of Congress have backed calls for or Trump's removal from office in the next several days either through the impeachment process, the 25th Amendment or another way after the violence that rocked the Capitol on Wednesday.

The calls come as multiple sources familiar with the matter said there have been informal discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment among staff-level officials within the Trump administration.

Trump spent Wednesday inciting and praising a mob that stormed the Capitol, so much so that he has been locked out of Twitter and Facebook for at least 12 hours.

Get them on the record, one by one, so they can't squirm out of this. I like it.

Big deal 12 hours.

Go sit in the corner Donnie and think about what you've done.

That'll teach him.
