Former DC police chief says Trump is responsible for lawless breach of the US Capitol

Charles Ramsey, the former chief of the DC Metropolitan Police, called the breach of U.S. Capitol Wednesday afternoon by Pro-Trump protesters "as close to a coup attempt as this country has ever seen."

Asked by CNN's Jake Tapper what President Trump should do, Ramsey said, "What I would want the President to do is shut the hell up and get out of the way."

"I mean, the guy is — he's like a cancer, you know," Ramsey added.

"He stirred them up and got the whole thing going. This is as close to a coup attempt as this country has ever seen. That's what you're looking at, folks, that's what you're looking at and it's absolutely ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, and a lot of people are responsible for this."
