Vermont Republican Governor Phil Scott Says Remove Trump From Office

January 7, 2021

The Republican governor of Vermont wants President Donald Trump out of office before January 20.

In response to the protest at the U.S. Capitol building by supporters of the president that left four people dead and others injured, Phil Scott said that Trump should be held accountable.

“This is a very disturbing time for our nation. What we are seeing today at the U.S. Capitol is not a peaceful protest — it is an unacceptable attack on our democracy,” Scott said, according to Seven Days Vermont. “Make no mistake, the President of the United States is responsible for this event.”

“President Trump should resign or be removed from office by his Cabinet, or by the Congress,” Scott added.
