For those who oppose impeachment, watch this video. This mob, incited by @realDonaldTrump, tried to stop Congress from accepting the Electoral College results. Congress can’t just issue sternly worded statements as a response. Doing nothing is not an option. — PolitiTweet.org

Articles of Impeachment drafted by @davidcicilline, @RepRaskin & me now has over 150 cosponsors. @realDonaldTrump incited a mob to attack Congress to stop the acceptance of Electoral College results. The coup attempt resulted in multiple deaths. Doing nothing is not an option. — PolitiTweet.org

Seditious rioters also targeted journalists at the Capitol. @realDonaldTrump’s repeated inflammatory and unAmerican rhetoric slamming journalists puts their lives at risk. That’s why we need to ensure journalists are protected from harm in the future as well. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1974, Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger put constraints on Nixon’s nuclear launch authority in his final days. @RepJimmyPanetta, @RepCarbajal & I sent a letter asking Acting SecDef to do the same to constrain @realDonaldTrump’s nuclear trigger: https://t.co/DPFA2CDNGq — PolitiTweet.org

In 1974, Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger put additional constraints on Nixon’s nuclear launch authority in the final days of his presidency. @RepJimmyPanetta, @RepCarbajal & I sent a letter asking Acting SecDef to do the same to constrain @realDonaldTrump’ nuclear trigger. — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased President-elect @JoeBiden understands the best way to heal our nation is not to ignore the seditious attack on our Capitol. He understands we can’t just issue stern press releases when multiple people died during an attempted coup. Pleased Biden supports impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

Impeachment has multiple purposes: -Remove a delusional, dangerous @POTUS -Bar @realDonaldTrump from holding office again -Ensure for the next 200 years of our Republic that our children know we took swift action after an attack on our Capitol & Congress https://t.co/CA6vbzEPO7 — PolitiTweet.org

Watch the below video. If Impeachment is not used to address this traitorous sedition, then what the hell is it for? — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @VP @Mike_Pence: If you are not going to stand up for America, how about you just stand up for yourself and your family and invoke the 25th Amendment to remove @realDonaldTrump? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: You incited a coup attempt that resulted in multiple deaths. You need to resign. Your resignation is the best way to show respect to both the minority of people who supported you and the majority of Americans who did not. Otherwise, we will impeach you. — PolitiTweet.org

Every single #MAGA rioter who committed a felony in relation to the death of the US Capitol police officer can be charged with felony murder. Also, @realDonaldTrump needs to resign immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Before I could serve on active duty, I took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” @realDonaldTrump is a clear and present danger to the Republic. He must be impeached. #VetsForImpeachment — PolitiTweet.org

I just want to note that in America, you don’t get to have one free coup attempt. That’s why we are readying Articles of Impeachment for introduction this Monday. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I don’t know who the acting Secretaries are to replace Betsy DeVos and Elaine Chao. Can someone enlighten me as to whether they believe in America and would be the kind of patriot who would support the 25th Amendment to remove @realDonaldTrump? — PolitiTweet.org

Dear federal and local officials: So when @realDonaldTrump on social media told #MAGA folks to be “wild,” did you think they were going to dance the electric slide? Or sing YMCA? When @POTUS incited the rioters in his speech, you should have deployed forces to the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @SecPompeo: Um, something very, very bad happened in our nation’s Capitol yesterday. Were you paying attention? Or are you so caught up in your elitist bubble that all you can do is think of your ego and yourself during this challenging time in America? #BacktoBasics — PolitiTweet.org

We just had two more Members sign on, bringing the total to 112 Members who are cosponsors of the Articles of Impeachment drafted by Rep @davidcicilline, @RepRaskin & me. We urge @realDonaldTrump to resign to spare himself from being impeached twice, by two separate Congresses. — PolitiTweet.org

My prayers go out to the family and colleagues of the US Capitol Police officer who apparently passed away. Also, if the below is true, then every single person who committed a felony yesterday at the #CapitolRiots related to the below death can be charged with felony murder. — PolitiTweet.org
