A trio of House Democrats close to leadership on Monday introduced a single article of impeachment against President Trump, charging him with inciting a mob of his supporters to carry out a violent attack on the Capitol in a bid to overturn Joe Biden’s election victory.

The article, co-authored by Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), Ted Lieu (Calif.) and Jamie Raskin (Md.), states that Trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by “willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States.”

In a speech outside the White House before Wednesday’s assault, Trump falsely claimed that he had won the election and urged thousands of his fans to march to the Capitol to support his GOP allies, using phrases like “you have to show strength” and “if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

Five people, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, died as the pro-Trump mob stormed the building to stop House and Senate lawmakers from certifying the Electoral College results. The Capitol now is the scene of a federal murder investigation.

    • What exactly did Trump do wrong now and throughout his 4 years? You’re just gullibly dumbly parroting mainstream fake news without knowing what you’re saying. Prove me wrong. FYI President Trump is not going anywhere. He’s the legally elected president for another 4 years iy”H.

      • He incited a riot

        He tricked his supporters into thinking he still has a chance (some nebach still think he does) and told them to go to the Capitol and “fight”

        Exact enough?
