Lady Gaga came together with the voices that are calling out for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump from office. The singer took to her social media to encourage her fans and lawmakers to continue the move of impeachment.
This decision was in opposition to the suggestion of presenting the idea of his removal by invoking 25th Amendment. She wrote hoping that everybody focuses to impeach Trump so Congress has constitutional authority to possibly disqualify him from future election. The singer noted, “The #25thAmendment doesn’t disqualify him.”
Gaga also reminded people how he incited domestic terror. She wrote, “He incited domestic terror—how much more violence needs to happen? This is terrorism.” The singer’s post comes a day after Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building.
They claimed election fraud and protested the ratification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral college victory. The exchange led to the death of 5 people including one police officer while 13 police officers were injured.
National Guard was called to protect the Capitol and D.C. was under curfew. Congress eventually had to reconvene for the Electoral vote count by 8 p.m. ET. Joe Biden was declared the victor of the election.
Celebrities have been vocal about the violence that took place. They have demanded Trump’s impeachment and removal from office.
Selena Gomez had also called out social media platforms for their role in the riots that took place in the U.S. Capitol building. The Congress was in the middle of the proceedings of certifying the electoral college vote counts for President-elect Joe Biden.
