IN 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump (House photo).

The aftershocks of Thursday’s attack on the U.S. Capitol by hundreds of right-wing extremists continued on Friday.

President Donald Trump, whom critics blamed for inciting the attack that left five people dead, said he would not attend the inauguration of the new president and vice president on Jan. 20. President-elect Joe Biden said, “I’m fine with that.”

Trump was banned permanently from using a Twitter account, citing “risk of further incitement of violence.” Republican senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska called for Trump’s resignation, saying, “I want him out. He has caused enough damage.” She also suggested she may quit the Republican Party over its support of Trump.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi urged the president to “resign immediately” or face a second impeachment and trial. The House of Representatives, with a Democratic majority, could vote this week on such an issue. It’s open to doubt whether the process could be completed before Trump’s term expires in nine more days.
