“This impeachment is causing tremendous anger and it’s really a terrible thing that they are doing; and for Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schummer to continue on this path, I think it’s causing tremendous danger to our country. I want no violence,” he said, according to Bloomberg Quicktake reports.
THE WHISTLER earlier reported that Pelosi, had on January 7, called for Trump’s removal while accusing him of instigating a mob attack on the capitol on Wednesday.
She had also vowed to proceed with impeachment proceedings if that is not done fast.
True to her words, the House Democrats reconvened on Monday and called on Vice President Mike Pence to remove President Donald Trump over his alleged inciteful rhetorics.
The House are scheduled to vote on that resolution today (Tuesday) but they have also kept the option of impeachment open if Pence does not cooperate.
