Members of the media and Congress are demanding that President Trump be removed from office after protestors stormed the capitol building.
Jonah Goldberg demanded the 25th Amendment “now.”

Democrat Congressman Ted Lieu demanded Trump be removed from office for starting an attempted coup.
This assault on our nation’s Capitol is a coup attempt and all those involved should be prosecuted as such.
Also, for those Dems saying we shouldn’t impeach @realDonaldTrump again? You are wrong. https://t.co/N2L3wg4rnP

Now is the time for @VP @Mike_Pence to start the 25th Amendment process. https://t.co/GQ0NXhyAK9

Members of the press, Democrat pundits, and members were all calling for President Trump to either resign or be removed.
McConnell needs to lead a delegation of GOP leaders to the White House to tell Trump that he has to resign immediately — or they will join with Democrats and impeach him. Otherwise, fellow Americans, what you saw today will be normalized.

They are also claiming that Senators supporting President Trump must also resign.

Congresswoman Bush wants any member of congress that supported President Trump expelled from the Congress.
I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences. They have broken their sacred Oath of Office.
I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion. pic.twitter.com/JMTlQ4IfnR

Joe Biden condemned the attack.
"At this hour, our democracy is under an unprecedented assault unlike anything we've seen in modern times," Pres.-elect Biden says after Trump supporters storm the US Capitol. "This is not dissent — it's disorder, it's chaos, it borders on sedition, and it must end now." pic.twitter.com/qAt7HHDMyM

President Trump immediately released a video pleading with protestors to go home.

Some commentators on the right claimed the media and Democrats were being hypocrites and reposted articles they wrote supporting the riots over the summer.
“The protests and the violence and the fires will stop once we’re rid of this system that oppresses, and maims, and kills people like George Floyd. So let it burn.”https://t.co/OO5IsmlY9m
