Larson: Trump Demonstrates He’s Unfit to Finish 14 Remaining Days
Washington, D.C. - Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after the Capitol was breached by Trump supporters.
"President Trump and everyone who encouraged these rallies that resulted in this attack on the Capitol are responsible. Today's events amount to an attempted coup that was encouraged by the sitting President to disrupt the certification of electoral college results. President Trump's actions raise serious concerns about whether he's mentally fit. Some would say he has malignant narcissism psychosis. He attacked his own Vice President, tried to coerce the Georgia Secretary of State, and without any evidence found by any state, he still claims he won the election in a landslide. I encourage Vice President Pence and the cabinet to proceed with the 25th Amendment. I am very concerned about President Trump's ability to govern our country over these next 14 days.
"I want to commend the Capitol Police for disbanding the mob in as orderly a manner as possible and for keeping Members and staff safe. Our hearts go out to the woman who lost her life. We remain firm to finish our Constitutional Duty to certify the electoral college results and the Presidency of Joe Biden. Tonight, we will show that our democracy still stands strong and on January 20th we will swear Joe Biden in as the 46th President of the United States."
