NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- New York Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday blasted President Donald Trump for instigating a “coup” at the Capitol building, while calling on elected officials to “unequivocally condemn” his false election fraud claims.
“The coup attempt initiated by outgoing President Trump has been despicable. Today, it became violent,” James said in a statement. “If blood is shed, it will be on his hands.”
“These actions, fueled by lies and wild conspiracy theories espoused by President Trump, must be unequivocally condemned by every corner of our society,” she added. “Ultimately I am confident the rule of law will prevail.”
“Joe Biden, our duly elected president, will assume office on Jan. 20, and history will remember this as a sad but unsuccessful attempt to destroy our democratic republic,” she went on to say.
