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.”
