Many PennLive readers say Trump deserves to be impeached over violence at the Capitol | Social Views
Updated Jan 14, 2021;
Many of our readers are outraged at the violence that overtook the nation’s capital last week, and they supported Congress’s moves to impeach President Donald Trump a second time.
They want President Trump held accountable for summoning a mob to Washington that broke into the Capitol, terrifying lawmakers and leading to the deaths of five people.
Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord joined Democrat Rogette Harris and John Micek, editor-in-chief of the Pennsylvania Capital-Star, on Wednesday to discuss the state of the nation following the Jan. 6 attack on Live on PennLive with Joyce Davis. Predictably, Lord didn’t think Trump should be blamed for the violence of his supporters. But Harris, Micek and many of our readers agreed with members of Congress – the president’s actions incited the violence, and he did not do enough to stop it.

Why Americans may not get the $600 check Congress just approved is the topic of today’s Facebook Live
Updated Dec 23, 2020;
Congress has finally passed a relief bill to help relieve some of the stresses many Americans are facing during these difficult times, but President Trump doesn’t like the bill and is threatening to veto it.
Congress approved a $900 billion package that would put $600 in the pockets of taxpayers this holiday season. But the president says it’s not enough. He says Americans need at least $2000, and many progressive Democrats agreed with him. But that puts the president squarely at odds with many of his Republican colleagues, who are worried about the ballooning deficit and fiscal responsibility.
