Wall Street Journal Board Calls On Trump To Resign

The Wrap reports:

The Wall Street Journal editorial board has joined the chorus of those in the media demanding Donald Trump resign as president.

This comes a day after the riots from Trump supporters, egged on by Trump himself, stormed the Capital in a last-gasp bid to overturn the election he lost to Joe Biden.

“This goes beyond merely refusing to concede defeat. In our view it crosses a constitutional line that Mr. Trump hasn’t previously crossed. It is impeachable,” the WSJ wrote.

The full editorial is behind a paywall.

The WSJ Editorial Board calls on Trump to resign and says his mishandling of yesterday’s events is an impeachable offense.

In my NYT column I argue that Wednesday may have broken the fever. The WSJ edit board just called on Trump to resign.
