Business leaders and trade groups condemned the violence in Washington, D.C., with some suggesting President Trump should step down

The reactions came in a week of statements and meetings involving corporate executives who have, while Mr. Trump and others have disputed his election defeat.

Chief executives, including the leaders of Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Bank of America Corp., condemned the violence. “The insurrection that followed the president’s remarks today is appalling and an affront to the democratic values we hold dear as Americans,” said Blackstone Group Inc. Chief Executive Stephen Schwarzman. Mr. Schwarzman, one of Mr. Trump’s most loyal allies on Wall Street and a major Republican fundraiser who acknowledged in November that Mr. Trump lost the election, added, “There must be a peaceful transition of power.

James Dimon, chairman and chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the country’s largest bank, said the violence doesn’t represent the U.S. “Our elected leaders have a responsibility to call for an end to the violence, accept the results, and, as our democracy has for hundreds of years, support the peaceful transition of power,” Mr. Dimon said in a statement.

I didn’t notice more violence than when BLM and Antifa were burning , destroying businesses and harassing people. Seems democratie has two faces.

I thought liberals hated CEOs? If they are on your side, its time to start wondering..

Make it clear to you and everyone that the Capitol was an attack by Antifa, that is, Democrats. And were you saved by the police who the Democrats hate so much or did you forget about the Floyd Case? They work with fear, don't fall for it. Forbidden to forget !!

Where were they for the past four years? It turns out all of us who were warning and fighting against Trump for four years -- while being mocked and belittled for it -- were right. Now these enablers speak up, and they get applause? No. They let this happen, and get no credit.

Leaders of the insurrection The people should call for, NO, DEMAND the immediate arrest of realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr RudyGiuliani

They celebrated BLM riots. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Don't be a victim of the system, it has always been designed to fail you. Washington

Half of the constituents of our sad demo rats leaders think the election was rigged. Instead of looking into the allegations, they tell half the people to STFU. So the violence is on their heads. Why didn’t they at least look into it? They owed the 50% something.

Hope they've secretly changed the nuclear codes until Jan 21

After domestic terrorist organizations Antifa and BLM, don’t talk to me about violence. doublestandards
