The Magnificent Seven
Former Joint Chiefs Chair Mike Mullen told the PBS Newshour that President Trump “incited” the failed insurrection and is “not in position to lead the next 14 days.”
Said Mullen: “I don’t think we’re done. Today was not it. We need to act in a preventive way to prevent more from happening.”
He added that Trump is “desperate, doing anything he can to hold onto power–to the point of what I consider grossly illegal actions today.”
