New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called for the impeachment or immediate resignation of US President Donald Trump during a press conference at New York City Hall on Saturday after Wednesday's storming of the US Capitol building. Bill de Blasio blamed Trump for creating the situation that led to the storming.

"Everyone was put in danger, because of a rebellion that was somehow tolerated. It was aided and abetted by Donald Trump, created by Donald Trump and Josh Hawley and so many others, somehow tolerated by security forces," stated de Blasio during the press conference.

The Wednesday US Capitol attack was condemned by politicians on both sides of the aisle as well as by leaders from around the world. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris denounced the 'mobbing' of the Capitol, in which five people died and dozens were arrested.

"It's very clear what the result must be. Donald Trump must go now, now. Anyone who is that treasonous, anyone who has lost his control of his mental abilities to that level as to start an insurrection against the United States should not have his finger on the nuclear button. He needs to resign right now," stressed de Blasio.
