Blackstone CEO and longtime Trump ally Stephen Schwarzman says he is 'shocked and horrified' by the 'insurrection' that followed the president's speech, calls for a peaceful transition

"The insurrection that followed the President's remarks today is appalling and an affront to the democratic values we hold dear as Americans," Schwarzman said in a statement to Business Insider.

"I am shocked and horrified by this mob's attempt to undermine our constitution. As I said in November, the outcome of the election is very clear and there must be a peaceful transition of power," he added. Schwarzman's criticism is notable given his close ties to Trump and previous defense of his attempts to challenge the US presidential election results.

Stephen Schwarzman and other financial backers are to blame as much as Trump just like the financial backers of Hitler and Nazism. These financial backers of evil should be shamed brought to justice.
