Former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell said Friday that President Donald Trump should resign immediately after pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol to stop the counting of votes by the Electoral College.
“I wish he would just do what Nixon did and that’s step down,” Powell said in an interview on NBC.
“Somebody ought to go up there and tell him, ‘It’s over. Plane’s waiting for you. You’re out,’” Powell said.
