Obama says Trump 'incited' Capitol siege with baseless lies about the election and encourages Republican lawmakers to 'choose America'

President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama prior to Obama's departure during the 2017 presidential inauguration at the US Capitol January 20, 2017 in Washington, DC.Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday said that President Donald Trump's relentless lies on the 2020 election incited violent, disturbing events at the US Capitol.

"History will rightly remember today's violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation," Obama said in a statement. "But we'd be kidding ourselves if we treated it as a total surprise."

"They can continue down this road and keep stoking the raging fires. Or they can choose reality and take the first steps toward extinguishing the flames. They can choose America," the former president said. With roughly two weeks left in what has been among the most chaotic presidencies in US history, Trump has still not conceded to President-elect Joe Biden.

Choose better, chose the American people who put them in power in the first place and fix the government mess, trump did his job as best he could with the resistances he faced, now let's see what biden will do? And how worse this gets if Americans keep getting screwed over.

America does care what Obama thinks. He needs to stop acting like a racist opportunist.

That the GOP has condoned this President's actions since day one and even aided and abetted his actions, including that of a coup attempt at the Capitol, has resolved me to one resolution. For as long as I breathe I will never vote Republican, and will ALWAYS vote against the GOP

Trump is a Disgrace
