Fmr. President Trump Calls For 'Termination' Of The U.S Constitution▼

Some Republican lawmakers on Sunday sharply criticized former President Donald Trump over his social media post calling for the U.S. Constitution to be "terminated." "I vehemently disagree with the statement Trump has made," said Rep Mike Turner. On Saturday, the former president falsely claimed in a post on Truth Social that big tech companies and the Democratic National Committee committed "massive fraud" in the 2020 election and called for the termination of the Constitution in order to overturn the election results. Trump's post came after Twitter owner Elon Musk released internal documents on the platform's decision to limit access to a news story about Hunter Biden's laptop just 3 weeks before the election. Ohio Republican Congressman Mike Turner warned that Trump's claims could hurt him in the 2024 election. CBS News' Margaret Brennan: Do you condemn him saying something like this? Rep. Turner: Absolutely. And I believe, answering your question, that people certainly are going to take into consideration a statement like this as they evaluate a candidate.

"Frankly, I think people are tired of looking backwards. I think people are tired of discussing the grievances of prior elections and they want to know what we're going to do to address the challenges. I think the former president would be well advised to focus on the future if he is going to run for president again," said Lawler. The former president's comment is now putting some self-proclaimed constitutional conservatives in the hot seat over their support for Trump. Like, House Republican Dave Joyce, who on Sunday refused to disavow the former president over his comment. Source
