Democrats are attempting to bait, antagonize and incite a riot among Trump supporters on Inauguration Day by impeaching President Donald Trump, political strategist Dick Morris said Wednesday.
“They’re hoping they can beat (the U.S. Capitol siege) by having demonstrations in all 50 Capitols and really having nationwide riots, armed revolts, and they want to incite that deliberately,” Morris said during an appearance on Newsmax TV’s “Chris Salcedo Show.”
Democrats also want to impeach Trump to make sure he can’t run in 2024, “because they know he’d probably win” and to “give him a kick on the way down so the history books write that he was the only president to be impeached twice.”
The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed an article charging Trump with “incitement of insurrection” for his role in last week’s deadly Capitol attack. The Senate must now convict him, though a trial in the upper chamber wouldn’t start until President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in.
The president late Wednesday released a video unequivocally condemning the violence seen last week.
“If you do any of these things you are not supporting our movement,” Trump said.
