Ocasio-Cortez"},"content":{"rendered":"
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday stressed a need for President Donald Trump’s removal from office, saying that failing to hold him accountable for Wednesday’s violent attack on the Capitol could ensure “it will happen again.”<\/p>\n
Speaking with George Stephanopoulos on ABC<\/em>‘s “This Week,” the New York Democrat said that ensuring Trump’s ouster was a “top priority” and that House leadership must schedule impeachment.<\/p>\n The president poses “a clear and present danger not just to the United States Congress but frankly to the country,” said Ocasio-Cortez. In addition to removing Trump from the Oval Office, lawmakers must ensure he can neither run for office again nor issue a self-pardon, she said.<\/p>\n
