Trump’s Life About to Become "A Burning Hell"

As rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's efforts to send in state police and the National Guard were blocked by the federal government for a full 90 minutes.

Now, Hogan – a Republican – is calling for President Trump to resign or be removed from office. Joining these calls is the Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump Republican group formed in 2019. Its co-founder Rick Wilson calls the violence “sedition and insurrection,” and speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about what’s at stake.

The Lincoln Project is an American political action committee formed in late 2019 by a number of Republicans and former Republicans. During the 2020 presidential election, it aimed to prevent the re-election of Donald Trump and defeat all Republicans in close races running for re-election in the United States Senate.

Maryland governor was denied permission to send National Guard & State Police, despite requests from DC mayor & congressional leaders (needed b/c DC is federal turf). Blocked by federal head of National Guard.

Sure looks like a coup from the cheap seats. https://t.co/wEjmiOmQOJ

The overwhelming display of force he unleashed on BLM was nowhere to be seen.

He hung out to dry a thin line of police defending the Capitol.

Congress held hostage and begging for an hour and a half for back up.

Trump’s pentagon blocked rescue.https://t.co/oUvxip2Oq9

Trump's new officials at Pentagon blocked National Guard from going in. Not until the governor’s of Virginia and Maryland said they were sending guard/state police did the Pentagon agree. https://t.co/vL2N1PuZoH
