After Sen. Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she wants Trump out from office immediately calling him a “dangerous person who incited “an act of sedition.”
“The president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people,” Pelosi said the day following the Capitol violence.
“I joined the Senate Democratic Leader in calling on the vice president to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th amendment,” she said before adding that if the Vice President wouldn’t react, the House will impeach Trump again.
“If the VP and the cabinet do not, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with the impeachment.”
Pelosi insisted that the matter is “urgent and an emergency of the highest magnitude.”
The Democratic Speaker also applauded Capitol Police’s efforts during the pro-Trump mob breach but called for the resignation of the chief Steven Sund over a “failure of leadership.”
