YEREVAN, JANUARY 8, ARMENPRESS. More than 200 members of Congress, almost exclusively Democrats, are calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office after a group of his supporters breached the U.S. Capitol hours after he spurred supporters to stand up for him amid his claims that the election was stolen from him, ARMENPRESS reports, citing NBC News.  

The group of 191 members of the House and 37 Senators includes Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, but just one Republican, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger (two independent Senators who caucus with the Democrats, Angus King and Bernie Sanders, have also joined those calls).

Some in the group support Congress impeaching the president, with others supporting the Cabinet removing him from office under the 25th Amendment, and others more broadly demanding he leave office immediately.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
